L-lysine catabolic process using lysine 6-aminotransferase
l-lysine catabolic process using lysine 6-aminotransferase
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of L-lysine into other compounds, including alpha-aminoadipate; in this pathway, L-lysine is converted to 2-aminoadipate-6-semialdehyde by lysine 6-aminotransferase.
