| ornithine transaminase | <enzyme> An enzyme that will reversibly catalyze the reaction of alpha-ketoglutarate and l-ornithine to form l-glutamate and l-glutamate gamma-saemialdehyde; a deficiency of this enzyme will result in gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina. Synonym: ornithine transaminase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transaminase | <enzyme> A subclass of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of an amino group from a donor (generally an amino acid) to an acceptor (generally 2 keto acid) in a cyclic process using pyridoxal phosphate as cofactor, for example aspartate amino transferase catalyses the reaction: aspartate + ketoglutarate = oxaloacetate + glutamate.
