FAMILY

class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as BAUA_PSEAE, bauA. Involved in the degradation of beta-alanine. Catalyzes the transfer of the amino group from beta-alanine to pyruvate to yield L-alanine and 3-oxopropanoate. It can also accept both 4-aminobutyrate and (S)-alpha-methylbenzylamine (MBA) as amino-group donors in the presence of pyruvate as an amine acceptor. Homotetramer.
