Summary: Enables heme binding activity and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase activity. Involved in protein homotetramerization and tryptophan catabolic process to kynurenine. Is expressed in embryonic head epidermis and embryonic/larval fat body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome and familial hypertryptophanemia. Orthologous to human TDO2 (tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
