Kynurenine 3-monooxygenase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the KMO gene.Kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO; EC 1.14.13.9) is an NADPH-dependent flavin monooxygenase that catalyzes the hydroxylation of the L-tryptophan metabolite L-kynurenine to form L-3-hydroxykynurenine.[supplied by OMIM] This is the first step in the degradation of Kyneurinine to Quinolinic acid.
