Anti-DUT Antibody Picoband® 0,00647 Vervoeging

Deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) is responsible for maintaining low intracellular levels of dUTP, thus preventing the incorporation of dUTP into DNA. dUTPase activity/expression can be down-regulated using siRNA specifically targeted to dUTPase mRNA and dUTPase plays a role in DNA nucleotide metabolism. This protein, present predominantly in the cytoplasm, contains 252 amino acids with a Mr of 26,704. It exhibits 35% identity with the E.coli dUTPase and 53% identity with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme. The nuclear and mitochondrial forms of dUTPase are encoded by the same gene with isoform-specific transcripts arising through the use of alternative 5-prime exons. Human dUTPase exhibits 92% identity with rat. Moreover, this enzyme has profound effects on the efficacy of agents that target thymidylate biosynthesis.

Human

No cross-reactivity with other proteins

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human DUT, different from the related rat and mouse sequences by two amino acids.

Found in a variety of tissues. Isoform 3 expression is constitutive, while isoform 2 expression correlates with the onset of DNA replication (at protein level) . Isoform 2 degradation coincides with the cessation of nuclear DNA replication (at protein level) . .

This enzyme is involved in nucleotide metabolism: it produces dUMP, the immediate precursor of thymidine nucleotides and it decreases the intracellular concentration of dUTP so that uracil cannot be incorporated into DNA. .
