Active Recombinant Human IDO1, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: IDO1-294H
• Product Overview: Human IDO (aa 1-403) is fused at the C-terminus to a His-tag.

Specification

• Description: IDO catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the main pathway of human tryptophan catabolism, the kynurenine pathway. Proinflammatory mediators, such as endotoxin and IFN-γ induce the expression of IDO in several tissues. IDO-dependent suppression of T cell responses might function as natural immunoregulatory mechanism. Physiological IDO activity has been implicated in T cell tolerance to tumors, dysfunctional selftolerance in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, and as a protective negative regulator in autoimmune disorders.
