Gene Information

human ... DUT(1854)

General description

dUTPase, also known as dUTP pyrophosphatase, and encoded by the gene DUT, is a critical enzyme involved in nucleotide metabolism for the production of dUMP, the immediate precursor of thymidine nucleotides. dUTPase normally can also function to decrease the intracellular concentration of dUTP so that uracil cannot be incorporated into DNA and cause mutations. dUTPase is localized to the nucleus and mitochondrial locations. dUTPase is expressed in numerous tissues and has multiple isoforms. Some isoforms are constitutively expressed while others match DNA replication cycles. Because dUTPase plays a pivotal role in regulating cellular dUTP pools, this enzyme could have profound effects on the efficacy of agents that target thymidylate biosynthesis and dUTPase expression is being examined as a prognostic marker for overall survival and response to therapy in colon and other cancers where thymidylate therapy is used.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to human dUTPase.

Application

Anti-dUTPase Antibody is a highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibody, that targets dUTPase & has been tested in western blotting.

The synthesis of dTDP is unique because there is a requirement for thymidylate kinase (TMPK). All other dNDPs including dUDP are directly produced by ribonucleotide reductase (RNR). We report the binding of TMPK and RNR at sites of DNA damage.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
