Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase activity
Specific Function Catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to form pyruvate and glutamate. Participates in cellular nitrogen metabolism and also in liver gluconeogenesis starting with precursors transported from skeletal muscles (By similarity).
