AMINOTRANSFERASE
Definition and Catalytic Function Aminotransferases, often referred to synonymously as transaminases, constitute a critical class of enzymes belonging to the transferase category (EC 2.6.1.x). These enzymes are indispensable components of intermediary metabolism, specializing in the catalysis of transamination reactions. Specifically, they facilitate the reversible transfer of an alpha-amino group from an amino acid (the donor […]
