Aadat Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables 2-aminoadipate transaminase activity; kynurenine-glyoxylate transaminase activity; and kynurenine-oxoglutarate transaminase activity. Predicted to be involved in 2-oxoglutarate metabolic process; glutamate metabolic process; and kynurenine metabolic process. Is active in cytosol and mitochondrial matrix. Orthologous to human AADAT (aminoadipate aminotransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Aadat often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
