Background
| Function | FUNCTION: 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. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03014}. |
| Pathway | Amino-acid degradation; L-tryptophan degradation via kynurenine pathway; L-kynurenine from L-tryptophan: step 2/2. |
| Protein Families | Kynurenine formamidase family |
