Mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase catalyzes the reversible reaction of oxaloacetate and glutamate to form aspartate and 2-oxoglutarate (alpha-ketoglutarate) (Martini et al. 1985). The active form of the enzyme is inferred to be a dimer with one molecule of pyridoxal phosphate associated with each monomer.
