Thymidine Phosphorylase antibody

Catalog No. ABIN6939276

Product Details anti-Thymidine Phosphorylase Antibody

Target: Thymidine Phosphorylase (TYMP)

Reactivity: Human, Rat, Mouse

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Thymidine Phosphorylase antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Staining Methods (StM)

Specificity: Recognizes a protein (amino acid 482) of 55 kDa (in vivo 110 kDa homodimer), identified as platelet-derived endothelial growth factor (PD-ECGF), same as thymidine phosphorylase (TP) or gliostatin. In the presence of inorganic orthophosphate, it catalyzes the reversible phospholytic cleavage of thymidine and deoxyuridine to their corresponding bases and 2-deoxyribose-1-phosphate. It is both chemotactic and mitogenic for endothelial cells and a non-heparin binding angiogenic factor present in platelets. Its enzymatic activity is crucial for angiogenic activity (metabolite is angiogenic). Higher levels of serum TP/PD-ECGF are observed in cancer patients. It is also involved in transformation of fluoropyrimidines, cytotoxic agents used in the treatment of a variety of malignancies, into active cytotoxic metabolites (e.g. 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine to 5-FU). High intra-cellular levels of TP/PD-ECGF are associated with increased chemosensitivity to such antimetabolites.
