Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.	Kynureninase is a pyridoxal-5`-phosphate (pyridoxal-P) dependent enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of L-kynurenine and L-3-hydroxykynurenine into anthranilic and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acids, respectively. Kynureninase is involved in the biosynthesis of NA

Protein

UniProt ID

Q16719

Protein name

Kynureninase (EC 3.7.1.3) (L-kynurenine hydrolase)

Protein 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-lyas
