关于 Tdo2

功能概要

Predicted to enable several functions, including heme binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein homotetramerization; tryptophan catabolic process to acetyl-CoA; and tryptophan catabolic process to kynurenine. Predicted to act upstream of or within tryptophan catabolic process. Is expressed in cerebellum; liver; male reproductive gland or organ; and small intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome and familial hypertryptophanemia. Orthologous to human TDO2 (tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase).
