Vanillin aminotransferase is a Capsicum capsaicinoid-biosynthesis enzyme. It transaminates L-alanine with vanillin in the reverse direction, releasing pyruvate and vanillylamine, which condenses with 8-methyl-6-nonenoic acid to form capsaicin. In vivo the preferred acceptors are pyruvate and oxaloacetate.
