cysteine with alpha-ketoglutarate.
Concept Introduction:
The transamination is the reaction, in which the amine group is transferred from the amino acids to the other molecules. This is catalyzed by the enzyme transaminase. The most usual and major keto acid involved with transamination reactions is alpha-ketoglutaric acid.
