Rabbit Anti-thymidine phosphorylase/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
In the presence of inorganic orthophosphate, the platelet-derived endothelial growth factor (PD-ECGF) thymidine phosphorylase (TP) (gliostatin) catalyses the reversible phospholytic cleavage of thymidine and deoxyuridine to their corresponding bases and 2-deoxyribose-1-phosphate. It is both chemotactic and mitogenic for endothelial cells and a non-heparin binding angiogenic factor present in platelets. It is also involved in transformation of fluoropyrimidines, cytotoxic agents used in the treatment of a variety of malignancies, into active cytotoxic metabolites.
Function:
May have a role in maintaining the integrity of the blood vessels. Has growth promoting activity on endothelial cells, angiogenic activity in vivo and chemotactic activity on endothelial cells in vitro.
Catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of thymidine. The produced molecules are then utilized as carbon and energy sources or in the rescue of pyrimidine bases for nucleotide synthesis.
Subunit:
Homodimer.
DISEASE:
Defects in TYMP are the cause of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome type 1 (MTDPS1) [MIM:603041]; also known as myoneurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy. A multisystem disease associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. It is clinically characterized by onset between the second and fifth decades of life, ptosis, progressive external ophthalmoplegia, gastrointestinal dysmotility (often pseudoobstruction), diffuse leukoencephalopathy, thin body habitus, peripheral neuropathy, and myopathy.
Similarity:
Belongs to the thymidine/pyrimidine-nucleoside phosphorylase family.

胸苷磷酸化酶(TP)是一种分子量为50-55kDa的蛋白,在氟嘧啶转化过程中起重要作用。TP具有血管生成活性,与血小板源性内皮细胞生长因子的结构和作用相似,因此又被称为肿瘤相关血管生长因子。其可能通过血管生成作用促进癌细胞的生长和转移。
