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.
