Catalytic activity: Reaction=L-serine + pyruvate = 3-hydroxypyruvate + L-alanine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:22852, ChEBI:CHEBI:15361, ChEBI:CHEBI:17180, ChEBI:CHEBI:33384, ChEBI:CHEBI:57972; EC=2.6.1.51;
Catalytic activity: Reaction=glyoxylate + L-alanine = glycine + pyruvate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24248, ChEBI:CHEBI:15361, ChEBI:CHEBI:36655, ChEBI:CHEBI:57305, ChEBI:CHEBI:57972; EC=2.6.1.44;
Cofactor: Name=pyridoxal 5'-phosphate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:597326;
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12899834, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16971151, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23229545}.
Subcellular location: Peroxisome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1703535, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23229545, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24055001, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26149463}. Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1703535, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23229545}. Note=Predominantly localized in the peroxisomes. Mitochondrial mistargeting occurs in variant proteins Arg-41, Arg-47, Ile-152, Arg- 170 and Thr-244 associated with the disease HP1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23229545}.
Tissue specificity: Liver.
Polymorphism: Polymorphism at position 11 acts synergistically with different mutations in AGXT producing specific enzymatic phenotypes in HP1 patients. The combined presence of Leu-11 and Met-340 polymorphisms defines the minor AGXT allele, whereas their absence defines the major allele. The minor allele has frequencies of 20% in normal European and North American populations, and 50% in HP1 patients. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1703535}.
Disease: Hyperoxaluria primary 1 (HP1) [MIM:259900]: An inborn error of glyoxylate metabolism characterized by increased excretion of oxalate and glycolate, and progressive tissue accumulation of insoluble calcium oxalate. Affected individuals are at risk for nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis and early onset end-stage renal disease. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10394939, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10453743, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10541294, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10862087, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10960483, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12559847, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12777626, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1301173, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1349575, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15253729, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15849466, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15961946, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15963748, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16971151, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1703535, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17495019, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2039493, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23229545, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24055001, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24934730, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26149463, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8101040, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9192270, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9604803}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity: Belongs to the class-V pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. {ECO:0000305}.
