epitope corresponding to amino acids 38-115 mapping within an internal region of TPMT of human origin
Modification Notes
Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT), also designated thiopurine methyltransferase, acts as a catalyst for the S-methylation of thiopurine drugs such as 6-mercaptopurine. TPMT, usually found as a monomer, is inhibited by S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. It is a cytoplasmic protein belongs to the TPMT subfamily of the larger methyltransferase superfamily of proteins. TPMT activity varies among different ethnic groups, with a large majority of Caucasians having a high TPMT activity. A common genetic polymorphism controls the level of TPMT activity. The level of TPMT activity is associated with the variation in efficacy and toxicity of thiopurine drugs.
