| IMP-aspartate ligase | <enzyme> A carbon-nitrogen ligase. During purine ribonucleotide biosynthesis, this enzyme catalyses the synthesis of adenylosuccinate from GTP, imp, and aspartate with the formation of orthophosphate and GDP. Chemical name: IMP:L-aspartate ligase (GDP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.3.4.4 (12 Dec 1998) |

| alanine aminotransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that is found primarily in the liver. It is released into the bloodstream as the result of liver damage. Also called the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). (27 Sep 1997) |
| alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase | <enzyme> Do not confuse with serine-pyruvate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.51), even though they may be products of the same gene; index whichever is discussed or both Registry number: EC 2.6.1.44 Synonym: pyruvate (glyoxylate) aminotransferase, kynurenine-glyoxylate aminotransferase, alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 1,dimethylarginine pyruvate aminotransferase, alanine-glyoxylate transaminase 1,alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 2 (26 Jun 1999) |
| alanine-oxomalonate aminotransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that accomplishes the reversible transfer of the amino groups from l-alanine to oxomalonate, an action similar to that of alanine aminotransferase, producing pyruvate and aminomalonate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aminotransferase | <enzyme> A family of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of an amino group from an alpha-amino acid to an alpha-keto acid, as in the transfer from glutamic acid to oxaloacetic acid, to form aspartic acid and alpha ketoglutarate. One reactant is often glutamic acid and the reactions employ pyridoxal phosphate as co-enzyme. (04 May 1997) |
| asparagine-oxo-acid aminotransferase | <enzyme> Consider also EC 2.6.1.45, serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase, which also acts on asparagine Registry number: EC 2.6.1.14 Synonym: asparagine transaminase (26 Jun 1999) |
| beta-alanine-pyruvate aminotransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that reversibly transfers the amino group of beta-alanine to paruvate, thus producing l-alanine and malonate saemialdehyde. A deficiency of this enzyme is believed to be the cause of hyper-beta-alaninaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beta-aminoisobutyrate:pyruvate aminotransferase | Beta-aminosiobutyrate:pyruvate transaminase;an enzyme that catalyses the reversible transfer of an amino group from beta-aminoisobutyrate to pyruvate, producing l-alanine and methylmalonate saemialdehyde. A step in valine degradation. A deficiency of beta-aminoisobutyrate:pyruvate aminotransferase results in hyper-beta-aminoisobutyric aciduria. (05 Mar 2000) |
