The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from Achromobacter superficialis are taurine and α-ketoglutaric acid. Its products are sulfoacetaldehyde and L-glutamic acid.[1][2]
This enzyme is a transferase, specifically a transaminase, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is taurine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include taurine aminotransferase, taurine transaminase, taurine-alpha-ketoglutarate aminotransferase, and taurine-glutamate transaminase. It participates in beta-alanine metabolism.[3]
