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. |
