[Kinurenin degradation pathway in eye: present state of knowledge].
In this review the kinurenin degradation pathway is presented. The role of indoleamine 2.3-dioxygenase (IDO)--the first enzyme of the tryptophan degradation--is also described. The implications of these findings for cataract as well as for other disturbances of vision process are discussed.
