Enables adenosylmethionine-8-amino-7-oxononanoate transaminase activity. Involved in biotin biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion.
SGD Description
7,8-diamino-pelargonic acid aminotransferase (DAPA); catalyzes the second step in the biotin biosynthesis pathway; BIO3 is in a cluster of 3 genes (BIO3, BIO4, and BIO5) that mediate biotin synthesis; BIO3 and BIO4 were acquired by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from bacteria
