Expressing the recombinant Human KYAT1 protein generally involves constructing a plasmid encoding the Human KYAT1 protein (1-372aa). This plasmid is introduced into e.coli cells, followed by the selection and culturing of positive e.coli cells, induction of protein expression, and subsequent cell lysis. The protein is fused with a N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO tag. The recombinant Human KYAT1 protein is purified through affinity purification, and SDS-PAGE analysis is conducted to confirm the presence of the protein and determine its purity. This protein exhibits a purity exceeding 90%.

Target Name
KYAT1
Target Full Name
Kynurenine--oxoglutarate transaminase 1
Target Function
Catalyzes the irreversible transamination of the L-tryptophan metabolite L-kynurenine to form kynurenic acid (KA), an intermediate in the tryptophan catabolic pathway which is also a broad spectrum antagonist of the three ionotropic excitatory amino acid receptors among others. Also metabolizes the cysteine conjugates of certain halogenated alkenes and alkanes to form reactive metabolites. Catalyzes the beta-elimination of S-conjugates and Se-conjugates of L-(seleno)cysteine, resulting in the cleavage of the C-S or C-Se bond.
Target Subcellular Location
Cytoplasm, cytosol.

Target Background
This gene encodes a cytosolic enzyme that is responsible for the metabolism of cysteine conjugates of certain halogenated alkenes and alkanes. This metabolism can form reactive metabolites leading to nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Increased levels of this enzyme have been linked to schizophrenia. Multiple transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been identified for this gene.
