Kynurenine/alpha-aminoadipate aminotransferase, mitochondrial (KAT/AadAT) (2-aminoadipate aminotransferase) (2-aminoadipate transaminase) (EC 2.6.1.39) (Alpha-aminoadipate aminotransferase) (AadAT) (Kynurenine aminotransferase II) (Kynurenine--oxoglutarate aminotransferase II) (Kynurenine--oxoglutarate transaminase 2) (EC 2.6.1.7) (Kynurenine--oxoglutarate transaminase II), AADAT, KAT2
Transaminase with broad substrate specificity. Has transaminase activity towards aminoadipate, kynurenine, methionine and glutamate. Shows activity also towards tryptophan, aspartate and hydroxykynurenine. Accepts a variety of oxo-acids as amino-group acceptors, with a preference for 2-oxoglutarate, 2-oxocaproic acid, phenylpyruvate and alpha-oxo-gamma-methiol butyric acid. Can also use glyoxylate as amino-group acceptor (in vitro).
