Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,3'-Diindolylmethane
Description3,3'-Diindolylmethane, also known as bis-1H-indol-3-ylmethane or DIM, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-alkylindoles. 3-alkylindoles are compounds containing an indole moiety that carries an alkyl chain at the 3-position. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 3,3'-Diindolylmethane. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). 3,3'-diindolylmethane is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically 3,3'-Diindolylmethane is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in transcription regulator activity
Specific function:
Ligand-activated transcriptional activator. Binds to the XRE promoter region of genes it activates. Activates the expression of multiple phase I and II xenobiotic chemical metabolizing enzyme genes (such as the CYP1A1 gene). Mediates biochemical and toxic effects of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons. Involved in cell-cycle regulation. Likely to play an important role in the development and maturation of many tissues
