Summary: Predicted to enable kynurenine-oxoglutarate transaminase activity. Predicted to be involved in L-kynurenine metabolic process and biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in RID; RMDVL; and RMDVR. Orthologous to several human genes including KYAT1 (kynurenine aminotransferase 1).
