EC 2.6.1.23     
Accepted name: 4-hydroxyglutamate transaminase
Reaction: erythro-4-hydroxy-L-glutamate + 2-oxoglutarate = (4R)-4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate + L-glutamate

Glossary: erythro-4-hydroxy-L-glutamate = (2S,4R)-2-amino-4-hydroxypentanedioate
Other name(s): 4-hydroxyglutamate aminotransferase; 4-hydroxy-L-glutamate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
Systematic name: erythro-4-hydroxy-L-glutamate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
Comments: The enzyme participates in a degradation pathway of trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, a compound that contributes to the stability of the collagen triple helix. Oxaloacetate can replace 2-oxoglutarate. This enzyme may be identical with EC 2.6.1.1 aspartate transaminase.
