Human Kynurenine-3-Monooxygenase (KMO) ELISA Kit

Mitochondrial kynurenine-3-monooxygenase (KMO) sits at a critical branch point in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan catabolism, catalyzing the conversion of kynurenine to 3-hydroxykynurenine, a precursor of the neuroactive metabolite quinolinic acid. This Assay Genie ELISA kit provides a quantitative immunoassay for measuring human KMO protein in tissue homogenates and other biological samples using a colorimetric readout on a standard microplate. The 96-assay format is intended for in vitro research use only and is commonly deployed in studies of neuroinflammation, neurodegenerative disease, immune regulation, and tumor immunology. Researchers investigating tryptophan metabolism, microglial activation, or the balance between neurotoxic and neuroprotective kynurenine metabolites in conditions such as Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and certain cancers will find this kit useful for tracking KMO expression across disease models and experimental interventions. Each kit ships with the core reagents required to run the assay and supports laboratory workflows ranging from basic research to drug discovery screening.
