Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** KYAT1 is an enzyme that catalyzes the amination of kynurenine, a key intermediate in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism. This pathway is crucial for the regulation of immune response, as it influences the production of various cytokines and neurotransmitters. KYAT1 is also involved in the metabolism of glutamate and glutamine, which are essential for neuronal function and synaptic plasticity. Furthermore, KYAT1 has been implicated in the response to bacterial infections, suggesting its role in modulating the host's immune response. **Pathways and Functions:** KYAT1 is involved in several key pathways, including: 1. **Kynurenine metabolic process:** KYAT1 is responsible for the amination of kynurenine, which is a critical step in the kynurenine pathway. This pathway is involved in the regulation of immune response, as it influences the production of various cytokines and neurotransmitters. 2. **Glutamate and glutamine metabolism:** KYAT1 is involved in the metabolism of glutamate and glutamine, which are essential for neuronal function and synaptic plasticity. 3. **Tryptophan catabolism:** KYAT1 is also involved in the catabolism of tryptophan, which is a precursor to serotonin and melatonin. 4. **Biosynthetic process:** KYAT1 is involved in the biosynthetic process of various compounds, including kynurenine and glutamate. **Clinical Significance:** The dysregulation of KYAT1 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Neurodegenerative diseases:** KYAT1 has been implicated in the regulation of immune response and metabolism, which are critical for the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. 2. **Autoimmune diseases:** KYAT1 has been implicated in the regulation of immune response, which is critical for the development of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. 3. **Infectious diseases:** KYAT1 has been implicated in the response to bacterial infections, which is critical for the development of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and sepsis. 4. **Cancer:** KYAT1 has been implicated in the regulation of immune response and metabolism, which are critical for the development of cancer. In conclusion, KYAT1 is a critical gene that plays a pivotal role in the regulation of immune response, metabolism, and cellular homeostasis. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of further research into the mechanisms of KYAT1 and its potential therapeutic applications.
