Description: These two reactions are catalyzed by a bifunctional enzyme named a-aminoadipic semialdehyde synthase. The mammalian enzyme is a single protein composed of separate domains for the two catalytic activities. Although this process uses a-ketoglutarate as the amino acceptor, and produces glutamate, it is more similar to the argininosuccinate synthetase–argininosuccinase reactions of the urea cycle than to a transamination.
