Summary: Enables kynureninase activity and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Involved in tryptophan catabolic process to acetyl-CoA. Predicted to be located in cytosol; mitochondrion; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Used to study hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hydroxykynureninuria. Orthologous to human KYNU (kynureninase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
