D-alanine gamma-glutamyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.14) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from pea seedlings are L-glutamine and D-alanine, which are combined to form the dipeptide, L-γ-glutamyl-D-alanine, with loss of ammonia.[1]

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the aminoacyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-glutamine:D-alanine gamma-glutamyltransferase.[2]
