TDO2 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. TDO2 Human Recombinant fused with a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 426 amino acids (1-406 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 50kDa. The TDO2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. TDO2 is a ferrous heme enzyme that catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the kynurenine pathway which is the major pathway of tryptophan metabolism. TDO2 integrates oxygen into the indole moiety of tryptophan. TDO2 has broad specificity towards tryptamine and derivatives including D- and L-tryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptophan and serotonin.
