IDO1-HEK293 Recombinant Cell Line (Human)

Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€

Applications: Monitor IDO1 pathway activity. Screen for activators or inhibitors of IDO1 in a cellular context

Background: L-tryptophan (L-Trp) is an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis inmammalian cells and the L-Trp to kynurenine (Kyn) pathway is firmly established as a keyregulator of innate and adaptive immunity. Catabolism of L-Trp to Kyn maintains animmunosuppressive microenvironment by starving immune cells of L-Trp and releasingdegradation products of L-Trp that have immunosuppressive functions. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenases (IDO1 & IDO2), two of the rate limiting enzymes in this pathway, are upregulatedin many tumors, providing cancer cells with an avenue for immune evasion.
