Example sentences for: tdo
How can you use “tdo” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
A second enzyme, IDO, is distinguished from TDO by its expression pattern, substrate specificity and inducibility.
Tryptophan 2, 3 dioxygenase (TDO) is expressed predominantly in hepatic tissues and was the first inducible enzyme system discovered in mammals [ 1].
In addition, IDO catalyzes the breakdown of a variety of compounds which contain an indole ring, including D-tryptophan and serotonin, marking another difference from TDO, which is specific for L-tryptophan.
If so, tryptophan concentrations in cellular microenvironments might play a critical role in modulating various cellular processes in a way that cannot be achieved by the hepatic enzyme TDO which regulates systemic tryptophan concentrations.
TDO: tryptophan 2, 3 dioxygenase
