Indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase 2 is more commonly known as IDO2 is an enzyme in the kynurenine pathway involved in the metabolism of the essential amino acid tryptophan.[1] The gene encoding IDO2 is also sometimes referred to as IDO2.[citation needed]

Function[edit | edit source]

ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

The ME/CFS Severely Ill Big Data Project analyzed genes of 20 patients who were severely ill with ME and CFS, and identified several different genetic defects in the IDO2 genes.
