EC 2.6.1.7 Details
EC number
2.6.1.7
Accepted name
kynurenine—oxoglutarate transaminase
Reaction
L-kynurenine + 2-oxoglutarate = kynurenate + L-glutamate + H2O (overall reaction);;(1a) L-kynurenine + 2-oxoglutarate = 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate + L-glutamate;;(1b) 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate = kynurenate + H2O (spontaneous)
Other name(s)
kynurenine transaminase (cyclizing), kynurenine 2-oxoglutarate transaminase, kynurenine aminotransferase, L-kynurenine aminotransferase
Systematic name
L-kynurenine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
CAS registry number
9030-38-0
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. Also acts on 3-hydroxykynurenine. The product 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate is converted into kynurenate by a spontaneous reaction.
