UniProtKB - Q63HM1 (KFA_HUMAN)

Protein

Kynurenine formamidase

Gene

AFMID

Organism
Homo sapiens (Human)
Status
Reviewed-Annotation score: -Experimental evidence at transcript leveli

Functioni

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.UniRule annotation

Catalytic activityi

N-formyl-L-kynurenine + H2O = formate + L-kynurenine.UniRule annotation

Pathwayi: L-tryptophan degradation via kynurenine pathway

This protein is involved in step 2 of the subpathway that synthesizes L-kynurenine from L-tryptophan.UniRule annotation
Proteins known to be involved in the 2 steps of the subpathway in this organism are:
  1. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2 (IDO2), Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), Tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2)
  2. Kynurenine formamidase (AFMID)
This subpathway is part of the pathway L-tryptophan degradation via kynurenine pathway, which is itself part of Amino-acid degradation.
View all proteins of this organism that are known to be involved in the subpathway that synthesizes L-kynurenine from L-tryptophan, the pathway L-tryptophan degradation via kynurenine pathway and in Amino-acid degradation.
