KYAT3 kynurenine aminotransferase 3

Gene ID: 56267, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: KAT3; CCBL2; KATIII

Summary

This gene encodes an aminotransferase that transaminates kynurenine to form kynurenic acid, which is a metabolite of tryptophan. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been described for this gene. This gene shares 5' exon structure with the RNA binding motif protein, X-linked-like 1 locus on chromosome 1, but the coding sequences are non-overlapping. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]
