Шаблон:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, an aminolevulinate transaminase (Шаблон:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

5-aminolevulinate + pyruvate <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> 4,5-dioxopentanoate + L-alanine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 5-aminolevulinate and pyruvate, whereas its two products are 4,5-dioxopentanoate and L-alanine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the transaminases, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5-aminolevulinate:pyruvate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include Шаблон:Chem name. This enzyme participates in porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism. It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.
