PLPStructure
[PDB|1DJU] (from ''Pyrococcus horikoshii'', 47% identity) [Pubmed|10671523]Additional information
The gene is annotated in KEGG as an ortholog of N-succinyldiaminopimelate aminotransferase EC 2.6.1.17. It is annotated in Swiss-Prot as alanine transaminase. In MetaCyc the gene is marked as similar to aspartateaminotransferase. No literature/experimental evidence supporting the annotation is available. [Pubmed|19935659]Expression and Regulation
