Add article description


Neamine transaminase (EC 2.6.1.93, glutamate---6'-dehydroparomamine aminotransferase, btrB (gene), neoN (gene), kacL (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name neamine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

neamine + 2-oxoglutarate 6'-dehydroparomamine + L-glutamate

The reaction occurs in vivo in the opposite direction.
