BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
L-aspartate:phenylpyruvate aminotransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
L-aspartate + phenylpyruvate = oxaloacetate + L-phenylalanine [RN:R00695]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
L-aspartate [CPD:C00049];
phenylpyruvate [CPD:C00166]
Product
oxaloacetate [CPD:C00036];
L-phenylalanine [CPD:C00079]
Comment
The enzyme from Pseudomonas putida also acts on 4-hydroxy-phenylpyruvate and, more slowly, on L-glutamate and L-histidine.
