In enzymology an aminolevulinate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.43) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction5-aminolevulinate + pyruvate 45-dioxopentanoate + L-alanineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 5-aminolevulinate and pyruvate whereas its two products are 45-dioxopentanoate and L-alanine.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the transaminases which transfer nitrogenous groups.
