In
enzymology, a dihydroxyphenylalanine transaminase (EC 2.6.1.49) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine + 2-oxoglutarate 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpyruvate + L-glutamate
Thus, the two
L-glutamate
.
This enzyme belongs to the family of
tyrosine metabolism. It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate
.
