(Redirected from IDO)

Indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase or indolamine-2,3-dioxygenase or IDO is an enzyme involved in the human body's metabolism of the essential amino acid tryptophan.[1][2]

The IDO enzyme degrades (converts) tryptophan into kynurenine, and this process is strongly linked to the IDO1 and IDO2 genes.[1][3]
