Description

6-methylthioguanine (6-MTG), the product of S-methylation of 6-thioguanine (6-TG), is a metabolite of thiopurine drugs including including 6-mercatptopurine, thioguanine, and azathioprine. Levels of 6-methylthioguanine are indicative of thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) activity. PMID: 23962279 Source: Regenstrief LOINC
