In enzymology a kynurenine 78-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.99.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionkynurenate + AH2 + O2 78-dihydro-78-dihydroxykynurenate + AThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are kynurenate an electron acceptor AH2 and O2 whereas its two products are 78-dihydro-78-dihydroxykynurenate and the reduction product A.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
