In enzymology, a diaminobutyrate-2-oxoglutarate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.76) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-2,4-diaminobutanoate and 2-oxoglutarate, whereas its two products are L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde and L-glutamate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the transaminases, which transfer nitrogenous groups.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-2,4-diaminobutanoate:2-oxoglutarate 4-aminotransferase.
This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism.
