Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 2 (IDO2): The Protein That Lived Twice
2024-09-23
Abstract excerpt
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) and IDO2, originated from gene duplication before vertebrate diver-gence. While IDO1 has a well-defined role in immune regulation, the biological role of IDO2 remains unclear. Discovered in 2007, IDO2 is located near the IDO1 gene. Because of their high sequence similarity, IDO2 was initially thought to be a tryptophan (Trp)-degrading enzyme like IDO1. Differently from what exp...
