About Tyms

Chromosome 5: 30,263,200-30,278,615 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000998.3

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 225 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Broad expression in liver E14 (RPKM 1.5), liver E14.5 (RPKM 8.8) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes an Enzyme that catalyzes the methylation of deoxyuridylate to deoxythymidylate using 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate as a cofactor. This function maintains the thymidine-5-prime monophosphate concentration critical for DNA replication and repair. The encoded Enzyme is a target for Cancer chemotherapeutic agents. The majority of transcripts for this gene lack a 3' UTR (PMID: 3022294, 3444407). The stop codon in these transcripts is UAA, compared to the UAG found in the genome and longer transcripts, as the polyA site is located within the stop codon (PMID: 3444407, 2157203). A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 10. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
