Reaction: pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate + 2-oxoglutarate = pyridoxal 5'-phosphate + D-glutamate
Other name(s): pyridoxamine phosphate aminotransferase; pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate-α-ketoglutarate transaminase; pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate transaminase
Systematic name: pyridoxamine-5'-phosphate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase (D-glutamate-forming)
Comments: Also acts, more slowly, on pyridoxamine.
