    Summary
    Predicted to enable kynureninase activity; protein homodimerization activity; and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including aromatic amino acid metabolic process; quinolinate biosynthetic process; and response to type II interferon. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hydroxykynureninuria. Orthologous to human KYNU (kynureninase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains a 3' terminal exon which extends past a splice site that is used in variant 1. This results in a novel 3' coding region and 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 2 which is shorter and has a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
