Enzyme Information

2.6.1.7
Kynurenine--oxoglutarate transaminase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8N5Z0
L-kynurenine + 2-oxoglutarate = 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate + L-glutamate.
-!- Also acts on 3-hydroxykynurenine. -!- The product 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate is converted into kynurenate by a spontaneous reaction.
2.6.1.39
2-aminoadipate transaminase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8N5Z0
L-2-aminoadipate + 2-oxoglutarate = 2-oxoadipate + L-glutamate.
