Provided is an omega-transaminase of R-configuration. The omega-transaminase of R-configuration has the amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, or has at least 80% identity to the amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, or has the amino acid sequences of proteins which have substituted, deleted or added one or more amino acids and have omega-transaminase activity of a high stereoselectivity R-configuration catalytic activity; and does not have the amino acid sequences encoded by the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 4. The high stereoselectivity refers to the content of one of the stereoisomers being at least about 1.1 times that of the other. Also provided is a use of omega-transaminase, which can be useful for highly efficient synthesis of a chiral amine of R-configuration with a relatively high chiral purity, and is therefore suitable for the industrial production of the chiral amines. |
