Name Kynureninase
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. L-kynurenine hydrolase
  2. SubName: Kynureninase (L-kynurenine hydrolase), isoform CRA_a
Gene Name KYNU
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in metabolic process
Specific Function Catalyzes the cleavage of L-kynurenine (L-Kyn) and L-3-hydroxykynurenine (L-3OHKyn) into anthranilic acid (AA) and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-OHAA), respectively. Has a preference for the L-3-hydroxy form. Also has cysteine-conjugate-beta-lyase activity.
