A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of KYNU antibody, Alternative Names: KYNU control peptide, KYNU antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-KYNU Blocking Peptide, Kynureninase Blocking Peptide, L-Kynurenine Hydrolase Blocking Peptide
Kynureninase is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (pyridoxal-P) dependent enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of L-kynurenine and L-3-hydroxykynurenine into anthranilic and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acids, respectively. Kynureninase is involved in the biosynthesis of NAD cofactors from tryptophan through the kynurenine pathway.
