General description

AFMID, kynurenine formamidase also called arylformamidase, is located on human chromosome 17q25.3. AFMID catalyses the hydrolysis of NFK (N-formyl-L-kynurenine) to kynurenine.

Immunogen

Probable arylformamidase recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-AFMID antibody produced in rabbit may be used for the detection of AFMID protein in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The conversion of tryptophan to nicotinic acid is catalysed by kynurenine formamidase. Alternative splicing in kynurenine formamidase gene modulates tumor suppressor p53 role in hepatocellular carcinoma development and progression. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-mediated kynurenine formation could play a role in cataract formation related to chronic inflammation.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

KFase (kynurenine formamidase), also known as arylformamidase and formylkynurenine formamidase, efficiently catalyses the hydrolysis of NFK (N-formyl-L-kynurenine) to kynurenine. KFase is the second enzyme in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism. A number of intermediates formed in the kynurenine pathway
