L-tryptophan—pyruvate aminotransferase

L-tryptophan—pyruvate aminotransferase (<a href="/facts/Enzyme_Commission_number/Y5GNLRKX">EC</a> <a href="https://enzyme.expasy.org/EC/2.6.1.99">2.6.1.99</a>, TAA1 (gene), vt2 (gene)) is an <a href="/facts/Enzyme/DSI1Fh7y">enzyme</a> with <a href="/facts/List_of_enzymes/w2RP6EwU">systematic name</a> L-tryptophan:pyruvate aminotransferase. This enzyme <a href="/facts/Catalysis/LPBS7TQC">catalyses</a> the following <a href="/facts/Chemical_reaction/GpqWlKrz">chemical reaction</a>

L-<a href="/facts/Tryptophan/JcUxlxAh">tryptophan</a> + <a href="/facts/Pyruvate/qJTgl4J9">pyruvate</a> 
 
 
 
 ⇌
 
 
 {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
 
 indole-3-pyruvate + L-<a href="/facts/Alanine/fphQEdSc">alanine</a>
This plant enzyme, along with <a href="/facts/EC_1.14.13.168/jdXoRyHI">EC 1.14.13.168</a>, indole-3-pyruvate monooxygenase, is responsible for the biosynthesis of the plant hormone indole-3-acetate from L-<a href="/facts/Tryptophan/JcUxlxAh">tryptophan</a>.
