Alanine-oxomalonate transaminase () is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from silkworm are L-alanine and mesoxalic acid. Its products are pyruvic acid and 2-aminopropanedioic acid.
This enzyme is a transferase, specifically a transaminase, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-alanine:oxomalonate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include alanine-oxomalonate aminotransferase, L-alanine-ketomalonate transaminase, and alanine-ketomalonate (mesoxalate) transaminase.
