Description: It recognizes a protein of 36kDa, identified as Thymidylate Synthase (TS). TS converts deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) to deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), which is essential for DNA biosynthesis. TS is also a critical target for the fluoropyrimidines, an important group of antineoplastic drugs that are widely used in the treatment of solid tumors. Both 5-FU and fluorodeoxyuridine are converted in tumor cells to FdUMP which inactivates TS by formation of a ternary covalent complex in the presence of the folate cofactor 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate. Expression of TS protein is associated with response to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in human colorectal, gastric, head and neck, and breast carcinomas.

Immunogen: Recombinant human protein was used as the immunogen for this anti-Thymidylate Synthase antibody.

Storage: Store the anti-Thymidylate Synthase antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
