| Official Name |
|---|
| Kynurenine--oxoglutarate transaminase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Kynurenine aminotransferase. |
| Kynurenine--oxoglutarate aminotransferase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| L-kynurenine + 2-oxoglutarate <=> 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate + L-glutamate |
| Cofactor(s) |
