Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase activity. Involved in malate-aspartate shuttle. Acts upstream of or within aspartate biosynthetic process; glutamate catabolic process to aspartate; and oxaloacetate metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; nervous system; respiratory system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Used to study early infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 82. Orthologous to human GOT2 (glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2).
