3-hydroxyanthranilate-3,4-dioxygenase (3HAO) ( gene : HAAO ) is the name of the enzyme that oxidizes 3-hydroxyanthranilate to 2-amino-3-carboxymuconate semialdehyde . This reaction step is part of the degradation - pathway of the amino acid tryptophan , the reaction product is also raw material for the biosynthesis of nicotinic acid and NAD . 3HAO is found in many bacteria , fungi and animals. In humans, it is mainly produced in the liver .

Inhibition of 3HAO with 4-chloro-3-hydroxyanthranilate reduced the accumulation of quinolinate in mice with fresh spinal cord injuries and improved the neurological symptoms.

Catalyzed reaction

Hydroxyanthranilate+ O 2 + H 2 O   Semialdehyde   Quinolinate

3-Hydroxyanthranilate is oxidized to a semialdehyde which spontaneously rearranges to quinolinate .
