A) reductive aminase
B) oxidative deaminase
C) ketotransferase
D) aminotransferase
E) None of the answers is correct.

Accepted Answer

Aminotransferases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of an amino group from an amino acid to a keto acid, such as α-ketoglutarate, facilitating the reversible conversion between amino acids and keto acids.
