BRITE hierarchy
Sysname L-kynurenine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
Reaction(IUBMB) L-kynurenine + 2-oxoglutarate = 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate
+ L-glutamate [RN:R01956]
Reaction(KEGG) R01956;
(other) R04171
Show
Substrate L-kynurenine [CPD:C00328];
2-oxoglutarate [CPD:C00026]
Product 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate [CPD:C01252];
L-glutamate [CPD:C00025]
Cofactor Pyridoxal phosphate [CPD:C00018]
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.
