β-aminoisobutyrate:pyruvate aminotransferase

β-aminoisobutyrate:pyruvate aminotransferase
β-Aminosiobutyrate:pyruvate transaminase; an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of an amino group from β-aminoisobutyrate to pyruvate, producing l-alanine and methylmalonate semialdehyde; a step in valine degradation. A deficiency of this enzyme results in hyper-β-aminoisobutyric aciduria.
