Target Information

Thymidylate Synthase (TS) converts deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) to deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), which is essential for DNA biosynthesis.
TS is a critical target for the fluoropyrimidines, an important group of antineoplastic drugs widely used in the treatment of solid tumors.
Both 5-FU and fluorodeoxyuridine are converted in tumor cells to FdUMP, which inactivates TS by forming a ternary covalent complex in the presence of the folate cofactor 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate.
Expression of TS protein is associated with response to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in human colorectal, gastric, head and neck, and breast carcinomas.
