KEGG   ENZYME: 2.6.1.116
Entry
EC 2.6.1.116                Enzyme                                 
Name
6-aminohexanoate aminotransferase;
nylD (gene name)
Class
Transferases;
Transferring nitrogenous groups;
Transaminases
Sysname
6-aminohexanoate:2-oxogutarate aminotransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
6-aminohexanoate + 2-oxoglutarate = 6-oxohexanoate + L-glutamate [RN:R05507]
Reaction(KEGG)
R05507
Substrate
6-aminohexanoate [CPD:C02378];
2-oxoglutarate [CPD:C00026]
Product
6-oxohexanoate [CPD:C06102];
L-glutamate [CPD:C00025]
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Arthrobacter sp. KI72, participates in the degradation of nylon-6. Glyoxylate can serve as an alternative amino group acceptor with similar efficiency.
