Enzyme Information
| 2.6.1.1 | Aspartate transaminase. based on mapping to UniProt P00508 L-aspartate + 2-oxoglutarate = oxaloacetate + L-glutamate. -!- Also acts on L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine and L-tryptophan. -!- This activity can be formed from EC 2.6.1.57 by controlled proteolysis. | 
| 2.6.1.7 | Kynurenine--oxoglutarate transaminase. based on mapping to UniProt P00508 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. |
