In enzymology an adenosylmethionine-8-amino-7-oxononanoate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.62) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionS-adenosyl-L-methionine + 8-amino-7-oxononanoate S-adenosyl-4-methylthio-2-oxobutanoate + 78-diaminononanoateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl-L-methionine and 8-amino-7-oxononanoate whereas its two products are S-adenosyl-4-methylthio-2-oxobutanoate and 78-diaminononanoate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the transaminases which transfer nitrogenous groups.
