ENTRY       EC 2.6.1.58
NAME        Phenylalanine(histidine) transaminase
CLASS       Transferases
            Transferring nitrogenous groups
            Transaminases
SYSNAME     L-Phenylalanine(L-histidine):pyruvate aminotransferase
REACTION    L-Phenylalanine + Pyruvate = Phenylpyruvate + L-Alanine
SUBSTRATE   L-Phenylalanine
            Pyruvate
            L-Histidine
            L-Tyrosine
            2-Oxoglutamate
PRODUCT     Phenylpyruvate
            L-Alanine
            3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate
            L-Methionine
            L-Serine
            L-Glutamine
COMMENT     L-Histidine and L-tyrosine can act instead of L-phenylalanine; in
            the reverse reaction, L-methionine, L-serine and L-glutamine can
            replace L-alanine.
