The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
2-oxoglutarate + L-aspartate --> L-glutamate + oxaloacetate (according to UniProt), this activity is rather unlikely as the [gene|AE802E1D4F827DED3A5D953C7D034E6A3554C45F|aspB] mutant is auxotrophic for aspartate indicating that [protein|8F7432F7EF0F767C6000D553A3ACE29FBA2EDCEE|yhdR] does not contribute to aspartate synthesis [pubmed|29995990]
Protein family
