Accepted name: β-pyrazolylalanine synthase
Reaction: O-acetyl-L-serine + pyrazole = 3-(pyrazol-1-yl)-L-alanine + acetate

Glossary: O-acetyl-L-serine = (2S)-3-acetyloxy-2-aminopropanoic acid
Other name(s): β-(1-pyrazolyl)alanine synthase; β-pyrazolealanine synthase; β-pyrazolylalanine synthase (acetylserine); O3-acetyl-L-serine acetate-lyase (adding pyrazole); BPA-synthase; pyrazolealanine synthase; pyrazolylalaninase; 3-O-acetyl-L-serine:pyrazole 1-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)transferase; O3-acetyl-L-serine:pyrazole 1-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)transferase
Systematic name: O-acetyl-L-serine:pyrazole 1-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)transferase
Comments: The enzyme is highly specific for acetylserine and pyrazole. Not identical with EC 2.5.1.52 L-mimosine synthase.
