In enzymology a tryptophan transaminase (EC 2.6.1.27) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-tryptophan + 2-oxoglutarate (indol-3-yl)pyruvate + L-glutamateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-tryptophan and 2-oxoglutarate whereas its two products are (indol-3-yl)pyruvate and L-glutamate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the transaminases which transfer nitrogenous groups.
