Amino transferases, all requiring Pyridoxal-P as a cofactor:

• Glutamate aminotransferase (third most active in liver): amino acid + 2-oxoglutarate 2-oxoacid + glutamate

• Alanine aminotransferase (second most active in liver): ala + 2-oxoglutarate pyruvate + glutamate

• Aspartate aminotransferase (most active in liver): asp + 2-oxoglutarate oxalacetate + glutamate
