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}. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_03014}. Nucleus {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03014}. Note=Predominantly cytosolic. Some fraction is nuclear. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03014}. |
