Name Kynurenine formamidase
Synonyms
  1. KF
  2. Kynurenine formamidase
  3. KFA
  4. KFase
  5. Arylformamidase
  6. N-formylkynurenine formamidase
  7. FKF
Gene Name AFMID
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in hydrolase activity
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 (By similarity).
Pathways
  • Glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism
  • L-tryptophan degradation via kynurenine pathway
  • Tryptophan metabolism
  • Tryptophan metabolism
