ENTRY       EC 2.6.1.36
NAME        L-Lysine 6-transaminase
CLASS       Transferases
            Transferring nitrogenous groups
            Transaminases
SYSNAME     L-Lysine:2-oxoglutarate 6-aminotransferase
REACTION    L-Lysine + 2-Oxoglutarate = L-2-Aminoadipate 6-semialdehyde +
            L-Glutamate
SUBSTRATE   L-Lysine
            2-Oxoglutarate
PRODUCT     L-2-Aminoadipate 6-semialdehyde
            L-Glutamate
            1-Piperideine 6-carboxylate
COFACTOR    Pyridoxal phosphate
COMMENT     A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The product (allysine) is converted
            into the intramolecularly dehydrated form, 1-piperideine
            6-carboxylate.
