How can you use “indoleamine” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
[ 13, 14] and confirmed by others [ 15, 16], IFN-γ acts by inducing indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, a host enzyme that converts L-tryptophan to L-formylkynurenine.
The initial step is rate limiting and is catalyzed by either of two enzymes: indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase or tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase.
It has been generally observed that in murine systems indoleamine dioxygenase has not been induced by IFN-γ under the same experimental conditions that readily induce synthesis of the enzyme in human systems.
The biological relationship of IFN-γ, indoleamine dioxygenase, tryptophan limitation and the persistent state of intracellular parasitism extends beyond chlamydial parasites, as illustrated by consideration of Toxoplasma gondii [ 20].
It therefore undermines the host's ability to deplete tryptophan through induction of indoleamine dioxygenase.
