Identification
Common NameN'-Formylkynurenine
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionN'-n'-formylkynurenine 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. N'-n'-formylkynurenine is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). N'-n'-formylkynurenine exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. N'-n'-formylkynurenine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, N'-n'-formylkynurenine can be biosynthesized from L-tryptophan; which is mediated by the enzyme tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase. In addition, N'-n'-formylkynurenine can be converted into formylanthranilic acid and L-alanine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme kynureninase. In cattle, n'-n'-formylkynurenine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tryptophan metabolism pathway.
