2-aminohexanoate transaminase () is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from Candida guilliermondii are L-norleucine and α-ketoglutaric acid. Its products are 2-oxohexanoic acid and L-glutamic acid.
This enzyme is a transferase, specifically a transaminase, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-2-aminohexanoate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include norleucine transaminase, norleucine (leucine) aminotransferase, and leucine L-norleucine: 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase.
