Transamination

The transfer of the amino group NH2 from an amino acid to an acceptor keto- (or oxo-) acid.


The transfer of the NH, amino group from an amino acid to a keto acid.


Transamination The reaction of the enzymatic removal and transfer of an amino group from one specific compound to another.


The process by which amino acids are metabolised in the liver.


A process or reaction where the amino group (-NH3) is transferred from one compound to another.


A process involved in the metabolism of amino acids in which amino groups (-NH2) are transferred from amino acids to certain a-keto acids, with the production of a second keto acid and amino acid. The reaction is catalyzed by enzymes, which require pyridoxal phosphate as a coenzyme.


The transfer of an amino group from one compound to another or the transposition of an amino group within a single compound.


This is a biochemical procedure where the amine moiety originating from a singular amino acid is transferred onto a carbon-based molecule to produce a distinct amino acid.
