ENZYME entry: EC 2.6.1.63

Accepted Name
kynurenine--glyoxylate transaminase
Alternative Name(s)
kynurenine--glyoxylate aminotransferase
Reaction catalysed
  • glyoxylate + L-kynurenine = glycine + H2O + kynurenate
  • 3-hydroxy-L-kynurenine + glyoxylate = glycine + H2O + xanthurenate
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme, characterized from animals, belongs to a family of aminotransferases some members of which can use other amino acceptors (cf. EC 2.6.1.7).
  • The products, 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate and 4-(2-amino-3- hydroxyphenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate, are converted to kynurenate and xanthurenate, respectively, by spontaneous reactions.
