Functions

A novel endogenous tryptophan metabolite which acts as an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonist. It drives IL-22 production by stimulating the differentiation of human and mouse T cells producing IL-22. Induces apoptosis in thymocytes. Activates type 4 metabotropic glutamate receptors. Counteracts excitotoxic neuronal cell death induced by NMDA in mixed cultures of cortical cells. Displays neuroprotective activity.
