Identification
Common NameL-3-Hydroxykynurenine
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionL-3-Hydroxykynurenine, also known as L-3-hydroxykynurenine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. These are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. L-3-Hydroxykynurenine is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). L-3-Hydroxykynurenine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. L-3-Hydroxykynurenine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, L-3-Hydroxykynurenine can be biosynthesized from L-kynurenine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme kynurenine 3-monooxygenase. In addition, L-3-Hydroxykynurenine can be converted into 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid and L-alanine through its interaction with the enzyme kynureninase. In cattle, L-3-hydroxykynurenine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tryptophan metabolism pathway.
