In enzymology, a diamine transaminase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:
an alpha,omega-diamine + 2-oxoglutarate
\rightleftharpoons
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the transaminases, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is diamine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include amine transaminase, amine-ketoacid transaminase, diamine aminotransferase, and diamine-ketoglutaric transaminase. This enzyme participates in urea cycle and metabolism of amino groups.
