General description
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. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions
TPMT (Thiopurine S-methyltransferase) mainly mediates different catalytic S-methylation reaction such as 6-mercaptopurine and 6-thioguanine. It also participates in the metabolism of some drugs such as thiopurine drugs, which is largely influenced by TPMT polymorphisms. Deficiency in TPMT gene causes an autosomal recessive disorder, childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
