2.6.1.2 | L-alanine + 2-oxoglutarate |
important function in beta-alanine metabolism |
2.6.1.2 | L-alanine + 2-oxoglutarate |
mitochondrial isoenzyme shows higher affinity for L-alanine, mainly functions in the direction of conversion of alanine to pyruvate whereas the cytosolic isoenzyme would function in both directions |
2.6.1.2 | more |
the acetylpolyamine amidohydrolase regulator alanine transaminase and racemase coupled with SpuC, the major putrescine-pyruvate transaminase, are key components to maintaining alanine homeostasis. The alanine-pyruvate cycle is indispensable for polyamine utilization, corresponding mutant strains are severely hampered in polyamine utilization, overview |
