Application

L-Kynurenine sulfate salt has been used as a substrate to study the enzyme activity of kynurenine aminotransferase. It has also been used in the synthesis of Kyn adducts of certain amino acids .

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Kynurenine (L-Kyn) is a precursor of kynurenic acid which is the only recognized endogenous excitatory amino acid receptor antagonist in the central nervous system. L-Kyn is known to be a pigment generating component in animals. In mammals, it modulates the transmission of glutamate neurotransmitter. It is also considered to be a sex-attracting pheromone in vertebrates.
Key intermediate in the breakdown pathway of tryptophan.
L-Kynurenine is a key intermediate in the breakdown of L-tryptophan and the formation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) via the kynurenine pathway. L-kynurenine is involved in a variety of neurological processes and diseases. L-kynurenine is a substrate for kynureninase/kynurenine hydrolase; kynurenine 3-monooxygenase and kynurenine-oxoglutarate transaminase.

Questions

  1. Is it possible to get this in a smaller size (50-100 mg) as a demo? I would like to test that this is soluble for our project's application (ideally more soluble in aqueous solutions the L-kyn)?

    1 answer
    1. 500MG is the smallest available package size for the product. Its quality specifications include a test for solubility in water at 1% (10 mg/ml).
      K8625 L-Kynurenine (free acid vs Sulfate salt) is sold in 25MG and 100MG package sizes, but its solubility in water is limited; it is best dissolved in 0.5M Hydrochloric acid.
