Background Information
AADAT (alpha-aminoadipate aminotransferase), also known as KAT (kynurenine aminotransferase) II, is a primary enzyme in the brain for catalysing the transamination of kynurenine to KYNA (kynurenic acid). KYNA is the only known endogenous antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor. AADAT is also involved in lysine metabolism by catalyzing the transamination of aminoadipate to a-ketoadipate (PMID: 17024659, 18056995). The human AADAT enzyme is also predicted to contain a mitochondrial cleavage signal, suggesting that AADAT is a mitochondrial protein (PMID: 19826765).
