Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 51166
Gene name Aminoadipate aminotransferase
Gene symbol AADAT
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
KAT2KATIIKYAT2
Chromosome 4
Chromosome location 4q33
Summary This gene encodes a protein that is highly similar to mouse and rat kynurenine aminotransferase II. The rat protein is a homodimer with two transaminase activities. One activity is the transamination of alpha-aminoadipic acid, a final step in the saccarop
