EC Number: 1.13.11.11
Description Reaction Reference
Together with IDO1, catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the kynurenine pathway (major pathway of tryptophan metabolism). L-tryptophan + O2 <=> N-formyl-L-kynurenine

Inhibitor Comments
LM10 is >640-fold selective for TDO2 over IDO1 [3].
Immunopharmacology Comments
Depletion of tryptophan and metabolites promote Treg cell differentiation, suppression of immune response and decreased DC function. TDO2 inhibition reverses this [3].
