Kynureninase, also known as L-kynurenine hydrolase, is a 465aa cytoplasmic enzyme.
Kynureninase is involved in two pathways; the degredation of L-kynurenine and the biosynthesis of the cofactor NAD(+).
The main function of kynureninase is to catalyze the cleavage of L-kynurenine into anthranilic acid and of L-3-hydroxykynurenine into 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, exhibiting a preference for the L-3-hydroxy form.
Kynureninase forms a homodimer, uses pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor and is inhibited by o-methoxybenzoylalanine (OMBA).
Kynureninase is widely expressed, with highest levels found in lung, placenta and liver.
Deficiency in kynureninase leads to hyperkynureninuria, a disorder characterized by the inability to break down tryptophan to nicotinic acid (vitamin B6).
Increased levels of kynureninase activity are observed in systemic and cerebral inflammatory conditions.
