In enzymology a beta-alanine-pyruvate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.18) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-alanine + 3-oxopropanoate pyruvate + beta-alanineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-alanine and 3-oxopropanoate whereas its two products are pyruvate and beta-alanine.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the transaminases which transfer nitrogenous groups.
