3-oxo-glucose-6-phosphate:glutamate aminotransferase

UniProtKB accession:  O07566

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the biosynthesis of kanosamine (3-amino-3-deoxy-D-glucose), which is known to have antibiotic and antifungal properties, and to be a precursor of the antibiotic neotrehalosadiamine (3,3'-diamino-3,3'-dideoxy-alpha,beta-trehalose (NTD)). Catalyzes the reversible pyridoxal phosphate-dependent transamination of 3-dehydro-alpha-D-glucose 6-phosphate to form alpha-D-kanosamine-6-phosphate. It can only use alpha-anomer and glutamate is the only amino donor.
