Function

Catalyzes the S-methylation of thiopurine drugs such as 6-mercaptopurine (also called mercaptopurine, 6-MP or its brand name Purinethol) and 6-thioguanine (also called tioguanine or 6-TG) using S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor (PubMed:18484748, PubMed:657528). TPMT activity modulates the cytotoxic effects of thiopurine prodrugs. A natural substrate for this enzyme has yet to be identified.

Notes

ab249390 is the carrier-free version of Anti-TPMT antibody [EPR10821(B)] ab166909.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

Thiopurine S-methyltransferase often called TPMT plays a role as an enzyme that catalyzes the S-methylation of thiopurine compounds like 6-mercaptopurine and azathioprine. It exists as a monomer with a molecular mass of about 28 kDa. In humans TPMT expresses mainly in the liver and kidney. The activity of TPMT varies among individuals due to genetic polymorphisms.

Biological function summary

TPMT is important in the metabolism of therapeutic thiopurine drugs. These drugs often require precise dosing to achieve effectiveness without toxicity. TPMT does not form part of a larger complex; it functions independently to methylate thiopurine drugs. Genetic variations can lead to different TPMT activity levels affecting a person's response to these drugs significantly.

Pathways

TPMT is integral to the drug metabolism pathway specifically in the detoxification and elimination processes of thiopurine drugs. While TPMT predominantly acts on thiopurines thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) may also have a role in modulating redox balance and affect the thiopurine metabolism indirectly through related cellular processes. Together they influence the cellular response to drugs like azathioprine.

Associated diseases and disorders

Genetic variants in TPMT significantly contribute to thiopurine drug intolerance or toxicity particularly in conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and acute lymphoblastic leukemia where these drugs are used. Patients with low TPMT activity are at risk for severe myelosuppression a life-threatening bone marrow suppression. TPMT's relationship with the enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) also illustrates its connection to nucleotide synthesis further linking TPMT to therapeutic outcomes in cancers.
