Glutamate-prephenate aminotransferase

In enzymology, a glutamate-prephenate aminotransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * L-arogenate + 2-oxoglutarate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ prephenate + L-glutamate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-arogenate and 2-oxoglutarate, whereas its two products are prephenate 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-arogenate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include prephenate transaminase (ambiguous), PAT (ambiguous), and L-glutamate:prephenate aminotransferase.
