Example sentences for: indoleamine
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.
It therefore undermines the host's ability to deplete tryptophan through induction of indoleamine dioxygenase.
Starvation for host-derived L-tryptophan, which is initiated by induction of indoleamine dioxygenase by IFN-γ, undoubtedly triggers derepression of the entire tryptophan operon, including the genes encoding PRPP synthase and kynureninase.
If so, in human systems the balance favors domination by the indoleamine dioxygenase route, whereas in murine systems the nitric oxide route is favored.
The consequent increase in nitric oxide production might then tend to limit the availability of kynurenine as a result of inhibition of indoleamine dioxygenase.
