Thymidylate Synthase (TYMS) Antibody, Abbexa, abx032932

Thymidylate synthase catalyzes the methylation of deoxyuridylate to deoxythymidylate using 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (methylene-THF) as a cofactor. This function maintains the dTMP (thymidine-5-prime monophosphate) pool critical for DNA replication and repair. The enzyme has been of interest as a target for cancer chemotherapeutic agents. It is considered to be the primary site of action for 5-fluorouracil, 5-fluoro-2-prime-deoxyuridine, and some folate analogs.
