别名：OTTHUMP00000016076; S-adenosyl-L-methionine:thiopurine S-methyltransferase; thiopurine methyltransferase; thiopurine S-methyltransferase

产品概述：Anti-TPMT mouse monoclonal antibody, clone LBI4B1

总结：This gene encodes the enzyme that metabolizes thiopurine drugs via S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the S-methyl donor and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine as a byproduct. Thiopurine drugs such as 6-mercaptopurine are used as chemotherapeutic agents. Genetic polymorphisms that affect this enzymatic activity are correlated with variations in sensitivity and toxicity to such drugs within individuals. A pseudogene for this locus is located on chromosome 18q.
