Part Description
LP19492-5 Thiopurine methyltransferase
Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme that catalyzes the S-methylation of thiopurine drugs including 6-mercatptopurine, thioguanine, and azathioprine (AZA). These drugs are used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and organ transplant rejection. Patients with low or absent TPMT activity are at increased risk for toxicity due to increased accumulation of unmetabolised drug. Information from Current Clinical Pharmacology. 2006;1:119-128.
