Description
Product Characteristics: Synonyms: AFMID, arylformamidase, DKFZp686F03259, KF, Kynurenine formamidase, Probable arylformamidase
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-formyl-L-kynurenine to L-kynurenine, the second step in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation. Kynurenine may be further oxidized to nicotinic acid, NAD(H) and NADP(H). Required for elimination of toxic metabolites.
Target Information: Catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-formyl-L-kynurenine to L- kynurenine, the second step in the conversion of tryptophan to nicotinic acid, NAD(H) and NADP(H). Required for elimination of toxic metabolites (By similarity)
