3-Hydroxy Kynurenine is one of the intermediate in tryptophan catabolism, which gets conveed to next intermediate and this conversion requires vitamin B6/ PLP. So, in B6 deficiency, this reaction does not occur and 3-Hydroxy Kynurenine is diveed to form alternate metabolite, Xanthurenic acid (See fig), which is excrete...
