Elevated Levels of Thymidylate Synthase Linked to Neoplastic Transformation of Mammalian Cells

Abstract excerpt

Thymidylate synthase (TS), an enzyme that is essential for DNA synthesis and repair has been identified as an important biomarker for colorectal and other human cancers. The elevated steady-state levels of TS found in many common human malignancies have been thought to represent a secondary event in tumor formation. However, it has recently been demonstrated that the deregulated levels of ectopic TS may also have...
