FIG. 2.

Transamination activity of mKAT III toward different amino acids, with glyoxylate as an amino group acceptor. Purified recombinant mKAT III was incubated with each of the 24 amino acids at a concentration of 10 mM in the presence of 2 mM glyoxylate or phenylpyruvate (for activity toward glycine). The activity was quantified by the amount of glycine or phenylalanine produced in the reaction mixture. Kyn, kynurenine.
