ENTRY       EC 2.6.1.2
NAME        Alanine transaminase
            Glutamic-pyruvic transaminase
            Glutamic-alanine transaminase
CLASS       Transferases
            Transferring nitrogenous groups
            Transaminases
SYSNAME     L-Alanine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
REACTION    L-Alanine + 2-Oxoglutarate = Pyruvate + L-Glutamate
SUBSTRATE   L-Alanine
            2-Oxoglutarate
            (S)-2-Aminobutanoate
PRODUCT     Pyruvate
            L-Glutamate
            2-Oxobutanoate
COFACTOR    Pyridoxal phosphate
COMMENT     A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. 2-Aminobutanoate acts slowly
            instead of alanine.
