Glycine-oxaloacetate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.35) is an enzyme characterised from Micrococcus denitrificans that catalyzes a reversible chemical reaction that interconverts glycine and oxaloacetic acid with glyoxylic acid and L-aspartic acid.[1]

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

This enzyme is a transferase, specifically a transaminase, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is glycine:oxaloacetate aminotransferase. It is also called glycine-oxaloacetate aminotransferase. It uses pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor.[2]
