Detailed explanation-1: -A transferase is any one of a class of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of specific functional groups (e.g. a methyl or glycosyl group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor).
Detailed explanation-2: -Transferases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a group of atoms, such as amine, carboxyl, carbonyl, methyl, acyl, glycosyl, and phosphoryl from a donor substrate to an acceptor compound.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transferases catalyze the transfer of functional groups such as methyl, hydroxymethyl, formal, glycosyl, acyl, alkyl, phosphate, and sulfate groups by means of a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transaminase belongs to transferase group.
Detailed explanation-5: -*Most enzymes catalyze the transfer of electrons, atoms, or functional groups. They are therefore classified, given code numbers, and assigned names according to the type of transfer reaction, the group donor, and the group acceptor.
