In enzymology a (R)-3-amino-2-methylpropionate—pyruvate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.40) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(R)-3-amino-2-methylpropanoate + pyruvate 2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate + L-alanineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-3-amino-2-methylpropanoate and pyruvate whereas its two products are 2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate and L-alanine.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the transaminases which transfer nitrogenous groups.
