Product description
This gene encodes a protein that is highly similar to
mouse and rat kynurenine aminotransferase II. The rat protein is a
homodimer with two transaminase activities. One activity is the
transamination of alpha-aminoadipic acid, a final step in the
saccaropine pathway which is the major pathway for L-lysine
catabolism. The other activity involves the transamination of
kynurenine to produce kynurenine acid, the precursor of kynurenic
acid which has neuroprotective properties. Two alternative
transcripts encoding the same isoform have been identified,
however, additional alternative transcripts and isoforms may exist.1) Han, Q., et al. Biosci. Rep. 28(4):205-215(2008)
