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 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Mitochondrion matrix.

Tissue specificity

Liver > pancreas > brain > kidney > heart > placenta.

Involvement in disease

Defects in ABAT are a cause of GABA-AT deficiency [MIM:137150]. The phenotype of this deficiency includes psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, lethargy, refractory seizures, and EEG abnormalities.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
