L-lysine-epsilon aminotransferase

UniProtKB accession:  P9WQ77

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the transfer of the terminal amino group of L-lysine to alpha-ketoglutarate to yield L-glutamate and 2-aminoadipate 6-semialdehyde ((S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate), which is spontaneously converted to the dehydrated form 1-piperideine 6-carboxylate (PubMed:16754985, PubMed:16950391, PubMed:26003725). Probably plays a role in persistence (Probable).
