The reaction of ornithine aminotransferase with ornithine [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1982
Rat liver ornithine aminotransferase is found to exchange the pro-S hydrogen on the delta-carbon atom of ornithine exclusively, thus showing that the mammalian enzyme transfers the delta-amino group and not the alpha-amino group as has been demonstrated with the plant enzyme [Mestichelli, Gupta & Spenser (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 640-647].
