TPMT Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 245 amino acids (1-245) and having a molecular mass of 28 kDa. Thiopurine S-methyltransferase is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
TPMT, thiopurine S-methyltransferase, is a cytosolic enzyme that metabolizes thiopurine drugs via S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the S-methyl donor and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine as a byproduct. TPMT activity exhibits autosomal codominant genetic polymorphism, and patients inheriting TPMT-deficiency are at high risk of potentially fatal hematopoietic toxicity.
