Entrez ID 8564
Gene name Kynurenine 3-monooxygenase
Gene symbol KMO
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
dJ317G22.1
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q43
Summary This gene encodes a mitochondrion outer membrane protein that catalyzes the hydroxylation of L-tryptophan metabolite, L-kynurenine, to form L-3-hydroxykynurenine. Studies in yeast identified this gene as a therapeutic target for Huntington disease. [provi
