It is formed from L-kynurenine, a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme kynurenine-oxoglutarate transaminase. It has been shown that kynurenic acid possesses neuroactive activity. It acts as an antiexcitotoxic and anticonvulsant, most likely through acting as an antagonist at excitatory amino acid receptors. Because of this activity, it may influence important neurophysiologic and neuropathologic processes. As a result, kynurenic acid has been considered for use in therapy in certain neurobiological disorders.;Description:Rabbit Anti-Kynurenic Acid Polyclonal Antibody;Host Species:Rabbit;Species Reactivity:Human;Application:EIA;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
