In enzymology a cephalosporin-C transaminase (EC 2.6.1.74) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(7R)-7-(5-carboxy-5-oxopentanoyl)aminocephalosporinate + D-glutamate cephalosporin C + 2-oxoglutarateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are (7R)-7-(5-carboxy-5-oxopentanoyl)aminocephalosporinate and D-glutamate whereas its two products are cephalosporin C and 2-oxoglutarate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the transaminases which transfer nitrogenous groups.
