| 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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Subcellular Location | Mitochondrion matrix. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}. |
| Top Pathways | Cysteine and methionine metabolism, Fat digestion and absorption, Alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, Arginine and proline metabolism, Phenylalanine metabolism |
