Abstract
Disclosed are isolated DNAs encoding a kynurenine aminotransferase selected from the group consisting of: (a) an isolated DNA sequence which encodes rat KAT; (b) an isolated DNA sequence which hybridizes to the isolated DNA sequence of (a) above and which encodes a KAT enzyme; and (c) an isolated DNA sequence differing from the isolated DNA sequences of (a) and (b) above in codon sequence due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, and which encodes a KAT enzyme. Also disclosed are vectors and host cells containing the same; oligonucleotide probes for identifying kynurenine aminotransferase; and isolated and purified kynurenine aminotransferase.
