Gene nameTPMT
Protein nameThiopurine S-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.67) (Thiopurine methyltransferase)
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: Catalyzes the S-methylation of thiopurine drugs such as 6-mercaptopurine (also called mercaptopurine, 6-MP or its brand name Purinethol) and 6-thioguanine (also called tioguanine or 6-TG) using S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor . TPMT activity modulates the cytotoxic effects of thiopurine prodrugs. A natural substrate for this enzyme has yet to be identified. .
