| Name | L-tryptophan---pyruvate aminotransferase |
| EC_number | 2.6.1.99 |
L-tryptophan—pyruvate aminotransferase (, TAA1 (gene), vt2 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name L-tryptophan:pyruvate aminotransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
: L-tryptophan + pyruvate \rightleftharpoons indole-3-pyruvate + L-alanine
This plant enzyme, along with EC 1.14.13.168, indole-3-pyruvate monooxygenase, is responsible for the biosynthesis of the plant hormone indole-3-acetate from L-tryptophan.
