Enzyme Information

2.6.1.51
Serine--pyruvate transaminase.
based on mapping to UniProt P21549
L-serine + pyruvate = 3-hydroxypyruvate + L-alanine.
-!- The liver enzyme may be identical with EC 2.6.1.44.
2.6.1.44
Alanine--glyoxylate transaminase.
based on mapping to UniProt P21549
L-alanine + glyoxylate = pyruvate + glycine.
-!- With one component of the animal enzyme, 2-oxobutanoate can replace glyoxylate. -!- A second component also catalyzes the reaction of EC 2.6.1.51.
