EC | 2.6.1.63 | ||||||||
Accepted name: | kynurenine—glyoxylate transaminase | ||||||||
Reaction: | (1) L-kynurenine + glyoxylate = kynurenate + glycine + H2O (overall reaction) (1a) L-kynurenine + glyoxylate = 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate + glycine (1b) 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate = kynurenate + H2O (spontaneous) (2) 3-hydroxy-L-kynurenine + glyoxylate = xanthurenate + glycine + H2O (overall reaction) (2a) 3-hydroxy-L-kynurenine + glyoxylate = 4-(2-amino-3-hydroxyphenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate + glycine (2b) 4-(2-amino-3-hydroxyphenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate = xanthurenate + H2O (spontaneous) |

Other name(s): | kynurenine-glyoxylate aminotransferase | ||||||||
Systematic name: | L-kynurenine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (cyclizing) | ||||||||
Comments: | 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, kynurenine—oxoglutarate transaminase). 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. | ||||||||
