The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from cauliflower florets are D-methionine and pyruvic acid. Its two products are 4-(methylthio)-2-oxobutanoic acid and L-alanine. The product keto acid goes on to form ethylene.[1]
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the transaminases, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme is D-methionine:pyruvate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include D-methionine transaminase, and D-methionine aminotransferase.[2]
