| Description : |
This gene encodes a protein that is highly similar to mouse and rat kynurenine aminotransferase II. The rat protein is a homodimer with two transaminase activities. One activity is the transamination of alpha-aminoadipic acid, a final step in the saccaropine pathway which is the major pathway for L-lysine catabolism. The other activity involves the transamination of kynurenine to produce kynurenine acid, the precursor of kynurenic acid which has neuroprotective properties. Several transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. |
| Form : |
25 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.3, 100 mM glycine, 10% glycerol. |
| Bio-activity : |
The specific activity of KATII was determined by measuring the product Kynurenic acid formation from a conversion of Kynurenine. The reaction was carried out at 37 centigrade for 15min in the buffer containing PBS, pH7.4, 2mM a-oxoglutarate, 40µM PLP (pyridoxal 5'-phosphate), and 0.5mM kynurenine as the substrate. |
