Name Kynurenine formamidase
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name AFMID
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
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.
