Protein detail:


Protein name Thymidine Kinase
Uniprot protein ID P09250
Protein length 341 amino acids
Protein description Thymidine kinase catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phospho group of ATP to thymidine to generate dTMP in the salvage pathway of pyrimidine synthesis. The dTMP serves as a substrate for DNA polymerase during viral DNA replication. Allows the virus to be reactivated and to grow in non-proliferative cells lacking a high concentration of phosphorylated nucleic acid precursors.
