D-ornithine 4,5-aminomutase alpha-subunit OAM_alpha is the 12.8kDa, alpha subunit of d-ornithine 4,5-aminomutase, or OAM, an enzyme that converts d-ornithine to 2,4-diaminopentanoic acid by way of radical propagation from an adenosylcobalamin to a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate cofactor. OAM is an alpha2-beta2 heterodimer comprising two strongly associating subunits. The packing of the alpha subunits against the beta helps to form the substrate and co-factor binding-regions.
