What are the Key Components Involved in the Catalytic Activity of OAT?
The main components involved in the catalytic activity of OAT are:
- Ornithine: A substrate that undergoes transamination. - α-Ketoglutarate: Another substrate that reacts with ornithine. - Pyridoxal Phosphate (PLP): An essential cofactor that forms a Schiff base intermediate. - Glutamate Semialdehyde: A product of the reaction that can be further converted into proline. - Glutamate: Another product of the reaction.
