Structural highlights
Function
[PAT_ARATH] Prokaryotic-type aspartate aminotransferase. Has also a prenate transaminase activity. Involved in the aromatic amino acids biosynthesis pathway via the arogenate route. Required for the transamination of prephenate into arogenate. Required for early development of the embryo.[1] [2] [3]
