| Accepted name: |
putrescine—pyruvate transaminase |
| Reaction: |
putrescine + pyruvate = 4-aminobutanal + alanine |
| Other name(s): |
spuC (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
putrescine:pyruvate aminotransferase |
| Comments: |
A pyridoxal 5′-phosphate protein. The enzyme, studied in the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, participates in a putrescine degradation pathway. cf. EC 2.6.1.82, putrescine—2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. |
