L-saccharopine + NADP(+) + H2O = (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate + L-glutamate + NADPH + H(+)
5-aminopentanoate + 2-oxoglutarate = 5-oxopentanoate + L-glutamate
5-oxo-L-proline + ATP + 2 H2O = L-glutamate + ADP + phosphate + H(+)
dTDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-galactose + 2-oxoglutarate = dTDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucose + L-glutamate
