ENZYME entry: EC 1.13.11.52

Accepted Name
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase.
Alternative Name(s)
IDO.
Tryptophan pyrrolase.
Reaction catalysed
  • D-tryptophan + O(2) <=> N-formyl-D-kynurenine
  • L-tryptophan + O(2) <=> N-formyl-L-kynurenine
Cofactor(s)
Heme.
Comment(s)
  • Requires ascorbic acid and methylene blue for activity.
  • Has broader substrate specificity than EC 1.13.11.11.
  • Is induced in response to pathological conditions and host-defense mechanisms.
  • While the enzyme is more active with D-tryptophan than L-tryptophan, its only known function to date is in the metabolism of L-tryptophan.
  • Superoxide radicals can replace O(2) as oxygen donor.
