human KAT III/CCBL2 possesses cysteine S-conjugate beta-lyase activity, as does mouse KAT II
Title: Kynurenine aminotransferase III and glutamine transaminase L are identical enzymes that have cysteine S-conjugate β-lyase activity and can transaminate L-selenomethionine.
This study showed that KAT II KO mice show the expected decrease in extracellular kynurenic acid levels, and that this reduction is accompanied by a significant increase in extracellular glutamate.
Title: Reduction of endogenous kynurenic acid formation enhances extracellular glutamate, hippocampal plasticity, and cognitive behavior.
The activity of mouse KAT II was not significantly inhibited by any proteinogenic amino acids at equimolar concentrations and half-life was 27.4 minutes at 65 degree C.
Title: Thermal stability, pH dependence and inhibition of four murine kynurenine aminotransferases.
Results show that gene targeting of kynurenine aminotransferase II (KAT) in mice leads to early and transitory decreases in brain KAT activity and kynurenic acid levels with commensurate behavioral and neuropathological changes.
Title: Biochemical and phenotypic abnormalities in kynurenine aminotransferase II-deficient mice.
Alpha7* nAChR and NMDA receptor functions were studied in kynurenine aminotransferase II null mice(mKat-2-/- mice). At 21 postnatal days, mKat-2-/- mice had lower hippocampal kynurenic acid levels and more spontaneous locomotor activity than control mice
Title: Targeted deletion of the kynurenine aminotransferase ii gene reveals a critical role of endogenous kynurenic acid in the regulation of synaptic transmission via alpha7 nicotinic receptors in the hippocampus.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
