deaminase

Example:Aminotransferase acts as a deaminase in the transamination of aspartate to oxaloacetate.

Definition:An enzyme that catalyzes the transamination reaction, which is closely related to deaminase function.

Example:Amino acid dehydrogenase has a role comparable to deaminase in the metabolism of various amino acids.

Definition:An enzyme that dehydrogens amines, which can also remove amino groups, similar to deaminases.

Example:Aminopeptidase works in a similar manner to deaminase but specifically targets amino termini.

Definition:An enzyme that cleaves off amino groups from the N-termini of peptides and proteins, which can be seen as a more specific version of deaminase activity.
