In enzymology a tryptophan-phenylpyruvate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.28) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-tryptophan + phenylpyruvate (indol-3-yl)pyruvate + L-phenylalanineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-tryptophan and phenylpyruvate whereas its two products are (indol-3-yl)pyruvate and L-phenylalanine.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the transaminases which transfer nitrogenous groups.
