商品信息













Background:
L-tryptophan (L-Trp) is an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis in mammalian cells and the L-Trp to kynurenine (Kyn) pathway is firmly established as a key regulator of innate and adaptive immunity. Catabolism of L-Trp to Kyn maintains an immunosuppressive microenvironment by starving immune cells of L-Trp and releasing degradation products of L-Trp that have immunosuppressive functions. Tryptophan 2,3 dioxygenase (TDO) is upregulated in many tumors, providing cancer cells with an avenue for immune evasion.




Description:
The
TDO Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit
is designed to measure
TDO
enzyme inhibition. The
TDO Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit
is simple to use. Inhibitor and enzyme are added to a sample containing L-Trp substrate. After a room temperature incubation, activity is measured by measuring the absorption of reaction product at = 320-325 nm.




Synonym(s):
TDO2, tryptophan 2,3 dioxygenase




Supplied As:
The kit comes in a convenient format, with enough reaction solution and enzyme to perform a total of 400 reactions.
