step 2
Reversible
E-PMP + α-ketoglutarate → E-PLP + L-glutamate
Converts E-PMP Alpha-ketoglutarate into E-PLP Glutamate
› Notes
The same aminotransferase transfers the amino group from PMP to α-ketoglutarate, regenerating PLP and forming glutamate. This reversible second half-reaction completes the usual net reaction, amino acid + α-ketoglutarate ⇌ α-keto acid + glutamate.
