Application

L-Kynurenine has been used as a standard for indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) assay. It has also been used as a standard to extract and quantify kynurenine from cultured cells and media.

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Kynurenine is a key intermediate in the breakdown of L-tryptophan and the formation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) via the kynurenine pathway. It is involved in a variety of neurological processes and diseases. L-Kynurenine is a substrate for kynureninase/kynurenine hydrolase; kynurenine 3-monooxygenase and kynurenine-oxoglutarate transaminase.
Key intermediate in the breakdown pathway of tryptophan.
