Gene Name GOT2
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in transferase activity, transferring nitrogenous groups
Specific Function Catalyzes the irreversible transamination of the L-tryptophan metabolite L-kynurenine to form kynurenic acid (KA). Plays a key role in amino acid metabolism. Important for metabolite exchange between mitochondria and cytosol. Facilitates cellular uptake of long-chain free fatty acids.
