Function
GATP_ARATH Transaminase that degrades gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) and uses pyruvate or glyoxylate as amino-group acceptor, but not 2-oxoglutarate. The pyruvate-dependent activity is reversible while the glyoxylate-dependent activity is irreversible. Cannot use beta-alanine, ornithine, acetylornithine, serine, glycine, asparagine, glutamine, glutamate, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, histidine, lysine, arginine, aspartate, threonine, tyrosine, tryptophan, proline, or cysteine as amino donors. Modulates steady-state GABA levels in diploid pistil cells and the haploid pollen tube. Involved in the formation of a gradient of GABA along the pollen tube path. Involved in the maintenance of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) structure and subsequent adaxial-abaxial axis-dependent development of cotyledons and leaves (PubMed:21690177).[1] [2] [3] [4] [UniProtKB:P12995]
