| Accepted name: |
6-aminohexanoate aminotransferase |
| Reaction: |
6-aminohexanoate + 2-oxoglutarate = 6-oxohexanoate + L-glutamate |
| Other name(s): |
nylD (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
6-aminohexanoate:2-oxogutarate aminotransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Arthrobacter sp. KI72, participates in the degradation of nylon-6. Glyoxylate can serve as an alternative amino group acceptor with similar efficiency. |
