Mus musculus Kynurenine formamidase (EC 3.5.1.9) Afmid Ammd cDNA 9030621K19 gene (9030621K19Rik)
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-formyl-L-kynurenine to L-kynurenine, the second step in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation. Kynurenine may be further oxidized to nicotinic acid, NAD(H) and NADP(H). Required for elimination of toxic metabolites. Q8R1K6 differences in 3' and 5' alternative splicings?
