The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of tryptophan into other compounds, including kynurenine. [GOC:go_curators]
The tryptophan catabolic process to kynurenine is a crucial metabolic pathway involved in the breakdown of the amino acid tryptophan. This process occurs primarily in the liver and begins with the enzyme **tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO)**.
TDO is mainly expressed in the liver and is responsible for the initial step of tryptophan catabolism, converting tryptophan into **N-formylkynurenine**. This conversion involves the insertion of an oxygen atom into the indole ring of tryptophan, ultimately leading to the opening of the ring.
The next step involves the enzyme **kynurenine formamidase (KynF)**, which removes the formyl group from N-formylkynurenine, producing **kynurenine**. This step is essential for the continuation of the tryptophan catabolic pathway.
Kynurenine can then undergo further metabolism through several pathways, leading to the production of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a crucial coenzyme involved in various metabolic processes.
The tryptophan catabolic pathway to kynurenine is tightly regulated and plays a critical role in several physiological processes, including:
* **Immune response:** Kynurenine serves as a signaling molecule in the immune system, modulating immune cell activity and contributing to immune tolerance.
* **Neurotransmission:** Kynurenine and its downstream metabolites influence neurotransmitter synthesis and neuronal function, potentially impacting brain health and neurodegenerative diseases.
* **Redox homeostasis:** The pathway contributes to maintaining redox balance within the body, essential for cellular function and protection from oxidative stress.
Overall, the tryptophan catabolic process to kynurenine is a complex and highly regulated pathway that plays a vital role in human health and disease. Its dysregulation can contribute to various disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune disorders, and cancer.'
