Serine-glyoxylate transaminase () is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the rversible chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme found in plants including wleat and kidney bean are L-serine and glyoxylic acid. Its products are hydroxypyruvic acid and glycine.
This enzyme is a transferase, specifically a transaminase, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-serine:glyoxylate aminotransferase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism.
