Function 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. Facilitates cellular uptake of long-chain free fatty acids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20977429, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7878064}.
Subcellular Location Mitochondrion matrix. Cell membrane.
Tissue Specificity Detected in brain (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17442055}.
Top Pathways Cysteine and methionine metabolism, Fat digestion and absorption, Alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, 2-Oxocarboxylic acid metabolism, Carbon metabolism
