Enables

This protein enables 4 target(s):

Target	Category	Definition
pyridoxal phosphate binding	molecular function	Binding to pyridoxal 5' phosphate, 3-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methyl4-pyridine carboxaldehyde 5' phosphate, the biologically active form of vitamin B6. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0198506732]
kynureninase activity	molecular function	Catalysis of the reaction: L-kynurenine + H2O = anthranilate + L-alanine. [EC:3.7.1.3]
protein homodimerization activity	molecular function	Binding to an identical protein to form a homodimer. [GOC:jl]

Located In

This protein is located in 3 target(s):

Target	Category	Definition
nucleoplasm	cellular component	That part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus. [GOC:ma, ISBN:0124325653]
mitochondrion	cellular component	A semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration. [GOC:giardia, ISBN:0198506732]
cytosol	cellular component	The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. [GOC:hjd, GOC:jl]

Active In

This protein is active in 1 target(s):

Target	Category	Definition
cytoplasm	cellular component	The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. [ISBN:0198547684]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 9 target(s):

Target	Category	Definition
tryptophan catabolic process	biological process	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of tryptophan, the chiral amino acid 2-amino-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid. [ISBN:0198547684]
NAD biosynthetic process	biological process	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme present in most living cells and derived from the B vitamin nicotinic acid; biosynthesis may be of either the oxidized form, NAD, or the reduced form, NADH. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0618254153]
quinolinate biosynthetic process	biological process	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of quinolinate, the anion of quinolinic acid, also known as 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid. [GOC:ai]
response to type II interferon	biological process	Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an interferon-gamma stimulus. Interferon-gamma is also known as type II interferon. [GOC:add, ISBN:0126896631, PMID:15546383]
'de novo' NAD biosynthetic process from tryptophan	biological process	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), beginning with the synthesis of tryptophan from simpler precursors; biosynthesis may be of either the oxidized form, NAD, or the reduced form, NADH. [PMID:17161604]
response to vitamin B6	biological process	Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a vitamin B6 stimulus. Vitamin B6 encompasses pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxine and the active form, pyridoxal phosphate. [GOC:mah, GOC:rph]
anthranilate metabolic process	biological process	The chemical reactions and pathways involving anthranilate (2-aminobenzoate). [GOC:jl]
L-kynurenine catabolic process	biological process	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of L-kynurenine, the L-enantiomer of the amino acid kynurenine (3-(2-aminobenzoyl)-alanine). [GOC:yaf]
tryptophan catabolic process to kynurenine	biological process	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of tryptophan into other compounds, including kynurenine. [GOC:go_curators]
