Cayman L-Kynurenine


Product Description
L-Kynurenine is an active metabolite of tryptophan (Item Nos. 29600 | 31210).1 It is formed from tryptophan via tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) or indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO). L-Kynurenine binds to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR; Kd = ~4 µM) and increases the activity of ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) in H-4-II-E rat hepatoma cells (EC50 = 12.3 µM).2 It decreases intracellular concentrations of NAD+ (Item No. 16077) in, and increases lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the supernatant of, primary human astrocytes and neurons in a concentration-dependent manner.3 L-Kynurenine in combination with IFN-γ reduces lung injury induced by A. fumigatus infection in the p47phox-/- mouse model of chronic granulomatous disease.4
