Metabolite Identification
Common NameN'-Formylkynurenine
DescriptionN'-n'-formylkynurenine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. These are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. N'-n'-formylkynurenine is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). N'-n'-formylkynurenine exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. N'-n'-formylkynurenine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, N'-n'-formylkynurenine can be biosynthesized from L-tryptophan; which is mediated by the enzyme tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase. In addition, N'-n'-formylkynurenine can be converted into formylanthranilic acid and L-alanine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme kynureninase. In cattle, n'-n'-formylkynurenine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tryptophan metabolism pathway.

Enzymes

Enzyme Details
1. Tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase
General function:
Amino acid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Heme-dependent dioxygenase that catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of the L-tryptophan (L-Trp) pyrrole ring and converts L-tryptophan to N-formyl-L-kynurenine. Catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of the indole moiety.
Gene Name:
TDO2
Uniprot ID:
Q2KIQ5
Molecular weight:
47708.0

Enzyme Details
2. Kynureninase
General function:
Not Available
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.

3. Kynurenine formamidase
General function:
Not Available
Specific function:
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.
