Biological function summary
IDO plays a role in immune response regulation by degrading tryptophan an essential amino acid needed for T-cell proliferation. The depletion of tryptophan and the accumulation of its metabolites such as kynurenine cause immunosuppressive effects within the tissue microenvironment. While IDO functions mostly as a standalone enzyme its activity influences the cellular surroundings by altering the balance of local immune reactions.
Pathways
IDO integrates into the tryptophan metabolism pathway and is important in the kynurenine pathway. Through this pathway it maintains immune homeostasis and cell defense mechanisms. Proteins like kynureninase and kynurenine 3-monooxygenase also participate in the same metabolic processes which further extend the effects of tryptophan metabolism on immune cell behavior.

General info
Function
Catalyzes the first and rate limiting step of the catabolism of the essential amino acid tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway (PubMed : 17671174). Involved in the peripheral immune tolerance, contributing to maintain homeostasis by preventing autoimmunity or immunopathology that would result from uncontrolled and overreacting immune responses (PubMed : 25691885). Tryptophan shortage inhibits T lymphocytes division and accumulation of tryptophan catabolites induces T-cell apoptosis and differentiation of regulatory T-cells (PubMed : 25691885). Acts as a suppressor of anti-tumor immunity (PubMed : 14502282, PubMed : 23103127, PubMed : 25157255, PubMed : 25691885). Limits the growth of intracellular pathogens by depriving tryptophan (PubMed : 25691885). Protects the fetus from maternal immune rejection (PubMed : 25691885).
