KMO
geneOn this page
Summary
KMO (kynurenine 3-monooxygenase, HGNC:6381) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q43, encoding Kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (O15229). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of L-kynurenine (L-Kyn) to form 3-hydroxy-L-kynurenine (L-3OHKyn).
This gene encodes a mitochondrion outer membrane protein that catalyzes the hydroxylation of L-tryptophan metabolite, L-kynurenine, to form L-3-hydroxykynurenine. Studies in yeast identified this gene as a therapeutic target for Huntington disease.

Kynurenine 3-monooxygenase — O15229 (reviewed: O15229)
Alternative names: Kynurenine 3-hydroxylase
All UniProt accessions (2): O15229, H0Y320
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Catalyzes the hydroxylation of L-kynurenine (L-Kyn) to form 3-hydroxy-L-kynurenine (L-3OHKyn). Required for synthesis of quinolinic acid, a neurotoxic NMDA receptor antagonist and potential endogenous inhibitor of NMDA receptor signaling in axonal targeting, synaptogenesis and apoptosis during brain development. Quinolinic acid may also affect NMDA receptor signaling in pancreatic beta cells, osteoblasts, myocardial cells, and the gastrointestinal tract.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion outer membrane.
Tissue specificity. Highest levels in placenta and liver. Detectable in kidney.
Domain organisation. Transmembrane domains are required for enzymatic activity.
Pathway. Cofactor biosynthesis; NAD(+) biosynthesis; quinolinate from L-kynurenine: step 1/3.
Miscellaneous. Increased in neuroinflammatory conditions. Inhibitors are investigated as potential neuroprotective drugs since they lead to an increased level of kynurenic acid, a neuroprotective NMDA receptor agonist. Gene model based on mouse cDNA data.
Similarity. Belongs to the aromatic-ring hydroxylase family. KMO subfamily.
