drug target | tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase is a therapeutic target for Parkinson's disease | Homo sapiens |
malfunction | alterations in the activity of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase cause imbalances in the levels of serotonin and other neuroactive metabolites which can contribute to motor, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, and other dysfunctions often seen in Parkinson's disease | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase is a key enzyme of tryptophan metabolism at the entry of the kynurenine pathway which moderates production of neuroactive compounds primarily outside the central nervous system | Homo sapiens |
