Biochem/physiol Actions

D-Kynurenine may be used along with L-kynurenine to assess the specificity and kinetics of kynurenine metabolizing enzymes. D-Kynurenine is used to study the selectivity and activity of the G protein-coupled receptor, GPR109B. D-Kynurenine is used as a substrate in a fluorometric assay of D-amino acid oxidase.

A facile fluorometric assay using D-kynurenine as a substrate was utilized for evaluating the inhibition of D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO), which is one of the products of a susceptibility gene for schizophrenia, by commercial antipsychotic drugs, namely, chlorpromazine (CPZ), carbamazepine

Kynurenine (Kyn) plays an important role as an immune check-point molecule and regulates various immune responses through its aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr). Kyn is synthesized by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (Ido) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (Tdo). Ido contributes approximately 90% of tryptophan catabolism.

Recombinant human kynureninase (L-kynurenine hydrolase, EC 3.7.1.3) was purified to homogeneity (60-fold) from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells infected with baculovirus containing the kynureninase gene. The purification protocol comprised ammonium sulfate precipitation and several chromatographic steps, including DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, hydroxyapatite, strong
