Funded Activity Summary

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-2: a newly discovered enzyme with a key role in kidney function. We have discovered an enzyme, IDO2, that metabolises the amino acid tryptophan. The enzyme is found in kidney tubule cells and we propose that IDO2 activity regulates sodium reabsorption by the renal tubular cells. Regulation of sodium balance is important for determining blood pressure in health and disease.
