Crystal structure of Drosophila melanogaster tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase in complex with HEME
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23333332
Function
[T23O_DROME] Catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of the L-tryptophan (L-Trp) pyrrole ring (By similarity). Required during larval growth to control the level of potentially harmful free tryptophan in the hemolymph. In the adult the same reaction is the first step in the ommochrome biosynthetic pathway.[1]
