Catalyzes the transamination reaction between L-asparagine and 2-oxoglutarate to produce L-glutamate and 2-oxosuccinamate (PubMed:22569339). Is not active with pyruvate as amine acceptor (PubMed:22569339). May also use other amino acids as substrates. a 2-oxocarboxylate + L-asparagine = 2-oxosuccinamate + an L-alpha-amino acid 2-oxoglutarate + L-asparagine = 2-oxosuccinamate + L-glutamate Belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
