Kynurenine is a
metabolite of the
amino acid l-tryptophan used in the
production of niacin.
Kynurenine is
synthesized by the
enzyme tryptophan dioxygenase...
- the
kynurenine pathway include tryptophan,
kynurenine,
kynurenic acid,
xanthurenic acid,
quinolinic acid, and 3-hydroxykynurenine. The
kynurenine pathway...

kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.9) is an
enzyme that
catalyzes the
chemical reaction L-

Kynureninase or L-
Kynurenine hydrolase (KYNU) (EC 3.7.1.3) is a PLP

apparently named after. It is
formed from L-
kynurenine in a
reaction catalyzed by the
enzyme kynurenine—oxoglutarate transaminase. KYNA has been proposed...

biosynthetic precursor to niacin.
Quinolinic acid is a
downstream product of the
kynurenine pathway,
which metabolizes the
amino acid tryptophan. It acts as an NMDA...

intermediate in the
catabolism of tryptophan. It is a
