Identification
Name:Thymidylate kinase
Synonyms:
  • Thymidine monophosphate kinase
  • dTMP kinase
  • TMPK
Gene Name:tmk
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in thymidylate kinase activity
Specific Function:Catalyzes the reversible phosphorylation of deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP) to deoxythymidine diphosphate (dTDP), using ATP as its preferred phosphoryl donor. Situated at the junction of both de novo and salvage pathways of deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) synthesis, is essential for DNA synthesis and cellular growth
