In enzymology a kynurenine-oxoglutarate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-kynurenine + 2-oxoglutarate 4-(2-aminophenyl)-24-dioxobutanoate + L-glutamateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-kynurenine and 2-oxoglutarate whereas its two products are 4-(2-aminophenyl)-24-dioxobutanoate and L-glutamate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases to be specific the transaminases that transfer nitrogenous groups.
