Function
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. Also acts on L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine and L-tryptophan. Aspartate transaminase activity can be formed from the aromatic-amino-acid transaminase (EC 2.6.1.57) of Escherichia coli by controlled proteolysis, some EC 2.6.1.57 activity can be found in this enzyme from other sources; indeed the enzymes are identical in Trichomonas vaginalis.

Activity
200-500 units/mg protein
Unit Definition
One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of α-ketoglutarate to L-glutamate per min at pH 7.5 at 37°C, in the presence of L-aspartic acid.
Reaction
L-aspartate + 2-oxoglutarate = oxaloacetate + L-glutamate
Recommendation
Protein determined by biuret.
