In enzymology a valine-pyruvate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.66) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-valine + pyruvate 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + L-alanineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-valine and pyruvate whereas its two products are 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate and L-alanine.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the transaminases which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-valine:pyruvate aminotransferase.
