Pyridoxamine-pyruvate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.30) is an enzyme originally characterised from Pseudomonas that catalyzes a reversible chemical reaction that interconverts pyridoxamine and pyruvic acid with pyridoxal and L-alanine.[1]
This enzyme is a transferase, specifically a transaminase, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is pyridoxamine:pyruvate aminotransferase. This enzyme is also called pyridoxamine-pyruvic transaminase. It participates in vitamin B6 metabolism.[2]
