CRYSTALLINE MITOCHONDRIAL ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE EXISTS IN ONLY TWO CONFORMATIONSCRYSTALLINE MITOCHONDRIAL ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE EXISTS IN ONLY TWO CONFORMATIONS
Structural highlights
FunctionAATM_CHICK 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. May facilitate cellular uptake of long-chain free fatty acids (By similarity).
