3-Hydroxykynurenine Transaminase (Anopheles gambiae) (rec.)

Full-length 3-HKT (Anopheles gambiae) is untagged. Liquid. In 20mM TRIS-HCl pH 8.0, containing 150mM NaCl and 40µM pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). The 3-hydroxykynurenine transaminase (3-HKT) gene plays a vital role in the development of malaria parasites by participating in the synthesis of xanthurenic acid, which is involved in the exflagellation of microgametocytes in the midgut of malaria vector species. The 3-HKT enzyme is involved in the tryptophan metabolism of Anophelines. The gene had been studied in the important global malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae.
