FunctionInvolved in pyrimidine base degradation. Catalyzes the reduction of uracil and thymine. Also involved the degradation of the chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil.
Tissue specificityFound in most tissues with greatest activity found in liver and peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
PathwayAmino-acid biosynthesis; beta-alanine biosynthesis.
Involvement in diseaseDefects in DPYD are the cause of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency (DPYD deficiency) [MIM:274270]; also known as hereditary thymine-uraciluria or familial pyrimidinemia. DPYD deficiency is a disease characterized by persistent urinary excretion of excessive amounts of uracil, thymine and 5-hydroxymethyluracil. Patients suffering from this disease show a severe reaction to the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil. This reaction includes stomatitis, Leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, hair loss, diarrhea, fever, marked weight loss, cerebellar ataxia, and neurologic symptoms, progressing to semicoma.
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase family.
Contains 3 4Fe-4S ferredoxin-type domains.
Cellular localizationCytoplasm.
