In enzymology, a succinyldiaminopimelate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.17) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- N-succinyl-L-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate + 2-oxoglutarate N-succinyl-L-2-amino-6-oxoheptanedioate + L-glutamate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-succinyl-L-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate and 2-oxoglutarate, whereas its two products are N-succinyl-L-2-amino-6-oxoheptanedioate 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 N-succinyl-L-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include succinyldiaminopimelate aminotransferase, and N-succinyl-L-diaminopimelic glutamic transaminase. This enzyme participates in lysine biosynthesis. It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.
