Anti-dUTPase Antibody (C15-1316-721)

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.
