Deoxyuridine Triphosphatase (DUT) is a ubiquitous enzyme that functions in nucleotide metabolism. Deoxyuridine Triphosphatase, in the presence of magnesium ions, is responsible for hydrolyzing dUTP to dUMP and diphosphate. This reaction is imperative for keeping the intracellular dUTP concentration low so that uracil does not become incorporated into DNA. Extensive integration of uracil into DNA can eventually lead to cell death. This suggests that DUT is crucial for cell viability, further implying that it is a prospective target for anticancer therapy.
Post-translational: Nuclear isoform 2 is phosphorylated in vivo on Ser-11, a reaction that can be catalyzed in vitro by CDC2. Phosphorylation in mature T-cells occurs in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Isoform 3 is not phosphorylated.
Store at -20°C for 1 year. Avoid freeze/thaw cycle.
