Background

Deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) is responsible for maintaining low intracellular levels of dUTP, thus preventing the incorporation of dUTP into DNA. dUTPase activity/expression can be down-regulated using siRNA specifically targeted to dUTPase mRNA and dUTPase plays a role in DNA nucleotide metabolism. This protein, present predominantly in the cytoplasm, contains 252 amino acids with a Mr of 26,704. It exhibits 35% identity with the E.coli dUTPase and 53% identity with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme. The nuclear and mitochondrial forms of dUTPase are encoded by the same gene with isoform-specific transcripts arising through the use of alternative 5-prime exons. Human dUTPase exhibits 92% identity with rat. Moreover, this enzyme has profound effects on the efficacy of agents that target thymidylate biosynthesis.

Synonyms

Deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase, mitochondrial;dUTPase;3.6.1.23;dUTP pyrophosphatase;DUT;

Gene Name

Deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase, mitochondrial

UniProt

P33316

Host

Rabbit

Reactivity

Human,Mouse,Rat

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human DUT, different from the related rat and mouse sequences by two amino acids.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Found in a variety of tissues. Isoform 3 expression is constitutive, while isoform 2 expression correlates with the onset of DNA replication (at protein level). Isoform 2 degradation coincides with the cessation of nuclear DNA replication (at protein level). .

Applications

IHC,WB

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

This enzyme is involved in nucleotide metabolism: it produces dUMP, the immediate precursor of thymidine nucleotides and it decreases the intracellular concentration of dUTP so that uracil cannot be incorporated into DNA. .

Components

Each vial contains 5mg BSA, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg Thimerosal, 0.05mg NaN3.
