Methionine-glyoxylate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.73) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from Brassica carinata are L-methionine and glyoxylic acid. Its products are 4-(methylthio)-2-oxobutanoic acid and glycine.[1]

This enzyme is a transferase, specifically a transaminase, 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.[2]
