General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the irreversible transamination of the L-tryptophan metabolite L-kynurenine to form kynurenic acid (KA). May catalyze the beta-elimination of S-conjugates and Se-conjugates of L-(seleno)cysteine, resulting in the cleavage of the C-S or C-Se bond By similarity. Has transaminase activity towards L-kynurenine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, serine, cysteine, methionine, histidine, glutamine and asparagine with glyoxylate as an amino group acceptor (in vitro). Has lower activity with 2-oxoglutarate as amino group acceptor (in vitro) By similarity.

Catalytic activity

L-kynurenine + 2-oxoglutarate = 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate + L-glutamate.

RS-CH(2)-CH(NH3+)COO- = RSH + NH3 + pyruvate.

L-kynurenine + glyoxylate = 4-(2-aminophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate + glycine.

Cofactor

Pyridoxal phosphate By similarity.

Subunit structure

Homodimer By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.

Caution

The first non-coding exon of CCBL2 is in common with that of RBMXL1.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAC72959.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 336.

The sequence AAH00819.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

The sequence CAG29278.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 336.

The sequence CAI21695.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.

The sequence CAI21696.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.

The sequence CAI41339.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.

The sequence CAI41340.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q6YP21-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: Q6YP21-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     152-167: VILIVPFYDCYEPMVR → YNACTVKFTNLKCTAG
     168-454: Missing.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
