	2.6.1.60
Description	Aromatic-amino-acid--glyoxylate aminotransferase
Catalyzed reaction	An aromatic amino acid + glyoxylate = an aromatic oxo acid + glycine.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments	-!- Phenylalanine, kynurenine, tyrosine and histidine can act as amino donors. -!- Glyoxylate, pyruvate and hydroxypyruvate can act as amino acceptors.
	An organellar enzyme (mitochondria or peroxisomes). Might be identical with kynurenine-glyoxylate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.63)
Organisms	-Metazoa
