N’-Formylkynurenine(CAT: R043934) is a crucial intermediate in the tryptophan catabolism pathway, formed by the enzymatic action of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) or tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO). It plays an essential role in regulating immune responses and is a precursor to key metabolites like kynurenine, which are linked to neurological and inflammatory processes. Disruptions in this pathway have been associated with various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and psychiatric conditions. As a result, N’-Formylkynurenine is the subject of extensive research, offering potential therapeutic insights into immune modulation, oxidative stress, and the development of new treatments for related conditions.
