背景
This gene encodes an aminotransferase that transaminates kynurenine to form kynurenic
acid, which is a metabolite of tryptophan. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants
that encode different proteins have been described for this gene. This gene shares 5' exon
structure with the RNA binding motif protein, X-linked-like 1 locus on chromosome 1, but the
coding sequences are non-overlapping
