About Kynu

Summary

Enables kynureninase activity and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Involved in aging and tryptophan catabolic process to acetyl-CoA. Located in cytosol. Used to study hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hydroxykynureninuria. Orthologous to human KYNU (kynureninase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
