KYNU Antibody (C-term) Blocking Peptide

Background:
KYNU is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (pyridoxal-P) dependent enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of L-kynurenine and L-3-hydroxykynurenine into anthranilic and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acids, respectively. KYNU is involved in the biosynthesis of NAD cofactors from tryptophan through the kynurenine pathway.

Other Names:
Kynureninase {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03017}, 3713 {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03017}, L-kynurenine hydrolase {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03017}, KYNU {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03017}

Target/Specificity:
The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP6768b was selected from the C-term region of human KYNU. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.
