General Information

General Information Comment Organism
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
