Protein attributes

Sequence length	500 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the conversion of gamma-aminobutyrate and L-beta-aminoisobutyrate to succinate semialdehyde and methylmalonate semialdehyde, respectively. Can also convert delta-aminovalerate and beta-alanine.
Catalytic activity	4-aminobutanoate + 2-oxoglutarate = succinate semialdehyde + L-glutamate. (S)-3-amino-2-methylpropanoate + 2-oxoglutarate = 2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate + L-glutamate.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal phosphate.
Subunit structure	Homodimer.
Subcellular location	Mitochondrion matrix.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
