Product Overview
Tag | GST |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | BC027882 |
Synonym | CD107B, IDO, INDO |
Background | IDO1 encodes indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) - a heme enzyme that catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in tryptophan catabolism to N-formyl-kynurenine which acts on multiple tryptophan substrates including D-tryptophan, L-tryptophan, 5-hydroxy-tryptophan, tryptamine, and serotonin. IDO1 play a main role in a variety of pathophysiological processes such as antimicrobial and antitumor defense, neuropathology, immunoregulation, and antioxidant activity. IDO1 activity in tumor cells may act to impair antitumor responses (1). The efficacy of therapeutic vaccination of cancer patients might be improved by concomitant administration of an IDO inhibitor (2). |

Target Details
Target Function | Catalyzes the first and rate limiting step of the catabolism of the essential amino acid tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway. Involved in the peripheral immune tolerance, contributing to maintain homeostasis by preventing autoimmunity or immunopathology that would result from uncontrolled and overreacting immune responses. Tryptophan shortage inhibits T lymphocytes division and accumulation of tryptophan catabolites induces T-cell apoptosis and differentiation of regulatory T-cells. Acts as a suppressor of anti-tumor immunity. Limits the growth of intracellular pathogens by depriving tryptophan. Protects the fetus from maternal immune rejection. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytosol. |
Protein Families | Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase family |
