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.

Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. Does this come in liquid form

    1 answer
    1. This product is supplied in powder form. A prepared solution is not available. Kynurenine, in solution, is not stable for long periods and loses activity relatively quickly.

  3. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  4. Ist gelöstes Kynurenine bei -20°C haltbar und wenn ja wie lang?

    1 answer
    1. The stability of the solution at -20 °C is not determined. Upon resuspension of L-Kynurenine, it is recommended to store solutions at 15-25 °C. The resuspended product is stable for 6 months when properly stored. It is also recommended to protect this product from light.
