Abstract excerpt
The important cellular proteins for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) metabolism are the major target enzymes, thymidylate synthase, and the rate-limiting enzyme in the degradation pathway, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase. Adverse drug reactions to 5-FU-based chemotherapy have been reported to be in part the result of polymorphisms in the thymidylate synthase (TYMS) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) genes....
