Recent work indicates an intimate interaction of the tryptophan catabolite (TRYCAT) pathways with the melatonergic pathways, primarily via TRYCAT pathway induction taking tryptophan away from the production of serotonin, which is a necessary precursor ...

Amino Acid Trp: The Far Out Impacts of Host and Commensal Tryptophan Metabolism
Tryptophan (Trp) is an essential amino acid primarily derived from the diet for use by the host for protein synthesis. The intestinal tract is lined with cells, both host and microbial, that uptake and metabolize Trp to also generate important signaling ...

New Trends in Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Biology [PDF]
Traditionally considered as a critical intermediate in the toxic and carcinogenic response to dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, TCDD), the Aryl hydrocarbon/Dioxin receptor (AhR) has proven to be also an important regulator of cell physiology and organ homeostasis.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor in liver inflammation [PDF]
AbstractThe aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ubiquitously expressed ligand-activated transcription factor with multifaceted physiological functions. In the immune system, AHR has been unequivocally identified as a key regulatory factor that can integrate environmental, dietary, or microbial signals into innate and adaptive immune responses ...
