KYNA is formed enzymatically by the irreversible transamination of L-kynurenine, a major peripheral tryptophan metabolite with ready access to the brain. Immunohistochemical and lesion studies demonstrated that cerebral KYNA synthesis takes place almost exclusively in astrocytes (129, 187, 199). PubMed:19126755
