Pyridoxamine-oxaloacetate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.31) is an enzyme originally characterised from rabbit liver and Escherichia coli that catalyzes a reversible chemical reaction that interconverts pyridoxamine and oxaloacetic acid with pyridoxal and L-aspartic acid.[1] The enzyme is also found in rat kidney.[2]

This is a transferase, specifically a transaminase, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is pyridoxamine:oxaloacetate aminotransferase. It participates in vitamin B6 metabolism.[3]
