Biochem/physiol Actions

TDO2 (tryptophan 2, 3-dioxygenase) is responsible for the cleavage of indole ring at the C2-C3 bond of L-tryptophan, thereby regulating tryptophan concentration. It is expressed in tumor cells and suppresses antitumor immune responses. During acute ethanol intake, TDO2 carries the kynurenine pathway via glucocorticoid-associated route. This can lead to the accumulation of neurotoxic metabolites along with the reduction of serotonin. The TDO2 gene is upregulated in brains of patients with Alzheimer′s disease and might be associated with making of neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaque. TDO2 is also responsible for antimicrobial and immunoregulatory activities.
