Homo sapiens

Also known as dJ317G22.1

Gene ID: 8564 | Gene type: protein coding

About KMO

Cytogenetic location: 1q43 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:241,532,378-241,595,642 (from NCBI)

This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 208 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Broad expression in liver (RPKM 11.5), kidney (RPKM 9.8) and 20 other tissues.

Summary

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. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
