Identification
Name4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase
Synonyms
  • GABA aminotransferase
  • GABA-AT
  • Gamma-amino-N-butyrate transaminase
  • GABA transaminase
Gene NameUGA1
Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in 4-aminobutyrate transaminase activity
Specific FunctionRequired for the degradation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is important for utilization of GABA as nitrogen source and for oxidative stress tolerance. Deaminates GABA to succinate semialdehyde, which in turn is converted to succinate by the succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase UGA2. Cannot transaminate beta-alanine (BAL)
