In enzymology an alanine-oxo-acid transaminase (EC 2.6.1.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-alanine + a 2-oxo acid pyruvate + an L-amino acidThus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-alanine and 2-oxo acid whereas its two products are pyruvate and L-amino acid.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the transaminases which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-alanine:2-oxo-acid aminotransferase.
