L-amino-acid oxidase

Has preference for L-aromatic amino acids: converts phenylalanine (Phe), tyrosine (Tyr) and tryptophan (Trp) to phenylpyruvic acid (PP), hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid (HPP), and indole-3-pyruvic acid (I3P) … IL4I1-mediated Trp catabolism generates I3P, giving rise to indole metabolites (indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-aldehyde (I3A)) and kynurenic acid, which act as ligands for AHR, a ligand-activated

Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1

Receptor for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) (PubMed:19306925, PubMed:25025571, PubMed:26091040, PubMed:9070858). … Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell migration, differentiation and proliferation, and thereby contributes to the responses to tissue damage and infectious agents.

Delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase

Catalyzes an early step in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles. Binds two molecules of 5-aminolevulinate per subunit, each at a distinct site, and catalyzes their condensation to form porphobilinogen

Cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase

Catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-aspartate, 3-sulfino-L-alanine (cysteine sulfinic acid), and L-cysteate to beta-alanine, hypotaurine and taurine, respectively. … Does not exhibit any decarboxylation activity toward glutamate

Hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2

Acts as a high affinity receptor for both nicotinic acid (also known as niacin) and (D)-beta-hydroxybutyrate and mediates increased adiponectin secretion and decreased lipolysis through G(i)-protein-mediated … Receptor activation by nicotinic acid results in reduced cAMP levels which may affect activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A and phosphorylation of target proteins, leading to neutrophil apoptosis

Retinoic acid receptor alpha

Retinoic acid receptors bind as heterodimers to their target response elements in response to their ligands, all-trans or 9-cis retinoic acid, and regulate gene expression in various biological processes … RARA plays an essential role in the regulation of retinoic acid-induced germ cell development during spermatogenesis (By similarity).

Delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase

Catalyzes an early step in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles. Binds two molecules of 5-aminolevulinate per subunit, each at a distinct site, and catalyzes their condensation to form porphobilinogen.

N-succinylamino acid racemase

Acts as a N-succinylamino acid racemase (NSAR) that catalyzes the racemization of N-succinyl-phenylglycine and N-succinyl-methionine (PubMed:14705949, PubMed:24955846). … Catalyzes both N-succinylamino acid racemization and OSB synthesis at equivalent rates (PubMed:14705949, PubMed:24955846). NSAR is probably the biological function of this enzyme (Probable).

Retinoic acid receptor RXR

Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 3

Seems to be coupled to the G(i)/G(o) and G(q) families of heteromeric G proteins … Receptor for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a mediator of diverse cellular activities. May play a role in the development of ovarian cancer.
