1 IDO is a unique enzyme in that it can utilize superoxide anion radical (O2*- ) as both a substrate and a co-factor. Superoxides indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
2 IDO is a unique enzyme in that it can utilize superoxide anion radical (O2*- ) as both a substrate and a co-factor. Superoxides indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
3 The latter role is due to the ability of O2*- to reduce inactive ferric-IDO to the active ferrous form. Superoxides indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
4 Antioxidant activity may arise from O2*- scavenging by IDO and formation of the potent radical scavengers and Kyn pathway metabolites, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid and 3-hydroxykynurenine. Superoxides indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
