Aspartate transaminase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of an amino group. Transferases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of functional groups (such as amino groups) from one molecule to another. Since aspartate transaminase transfers an amino group (from aspartate to α - ketoglutarate), it belongs to the transferase group, not ligases (which join two molecules).
