In enzymology, a kynurenine-oxoglutarate transaminase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :L-kynurenine + 2-oxoglutarate 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate + L-glutamate Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-kynurenine and 2-oxoglutarate, whereas its two products are 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate and L-glutamate. This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, to be specific, the transaminases, that transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-kynurenine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include kynurenine transaminase (cyclizing), kynurenine 2-oxoglutarate transaminase, kynurenine aminotransferase, and L-kynurenine aminotransferase. This enzyme participates in tryptophan metabolism. It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate. == Structural studies == As of early 2009, 18 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kynurenine—oxoglutarate transaminase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
