| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
D-Kynurenine is a metabolite of D-tryptophan that is also a bioprecursor of two neuroactive compounds kynurenic acid (KYNA) and 3-hydroxykynurenine. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A kynurenine that has D configuration. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
D-Kynurenine may be used along with L-kynurenine to assess the specificity and kinetics of kynurenine metabolizing enzymes. D-Kynurenine is used to study the selectivity and activity of the G protein-coupled receptor, GPR109B. D-Kynurenine is used as a substrate in a fluorometric assay of D-amino acid oxidase. |
