In enzymology, a methionine-glyoxylate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.73) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- L-methionine + glyoxylate 4-methylthio-2-oxobutanoate + glycine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-methionine and glyoxylate, whereas its two products are and glycine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the transaminases, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-methionine:glyoxylate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include methionine-glyoxylate aminotransferase, and MGAT.
