SYSTEMATIC NAME

L-kynurenine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (cyclizing)
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.
