| Abstract: | Ornithine ketoacid aminotransferase activity in the human ocular tissues was biochemically studied. The choroid plus retina, ciliary body, and iris showed high enzyme activity. The enzyme had a pH optimum at near 8.0–8.1, and the Km value for pyridoxal phosphate was 8  M. The possible role of ornithine ketoacid aminotransferase in the human ocular tissues was discussed. |
