Mitochondrial GOT2 (glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase 2, also known as aspartate aminotransferase, mitochondrial) catalyzes the reversible transamination of oxaloacetate (OA) and glutamate (L-Glu) to form aspartate (L-Asp) and 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG, alpha-ketoglutarate) (Martini et al. 1985). The active form of the enzyme is a homodimer of GOT2 monomers each conjugated with pyridoxal phosphate on lysine residue 279 (Jiang et al., 2016). Mutations in MDH1 can cause a form of early-onset epileptic encephalopathy (DEE82, MIM:618721; van Karnebeek et al. 2019).
