IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 2.6.1.23

Names

Accepted name:
4-hydroxyglutamate transaminase
Other name:
4-hydroxyglutamate aminotransferase
Systematic name:
erythro-4-hydroxy-L-glutamate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase

Reaction

Comments:

The enzyme participates in a degradation pathway of trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, a compound that contributes to the stability of the collagen triple helix. Oxaloacetate can replace 2-oxoglutarate. This enzyme may be identical with EC 2.6.1.1 aspartate transaminase.
