Background: |
INDOL1 is also known as IDO2 (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2) and is a 407 amino acid protein that is expressed in various tissues, including liver, small intestine, spleen, placenta, thymus, lung, brain, kidney, colon and dendritic cells. INDOL1 is selectively inhibited by D-1MT (1-methyl-d-tryptophan), which also inhibits IDO (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase) and is significant because IDO expression causes suppression of T cell responses to tumors in dendritic cells. The inhibition of INDOL1 by D-1MT suggests a common function in immunomodulation. In the human INDOL1 gene, two single nucleotide polymorphisms have been detected which abolish the enzymatic function of INDOL1. |
