Abstract excerpt
Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is an important enzyme that metabolizes thiopurine drugs. This enzyme exhibits a large number of interindividual polymorphism. TPMT(∗)23 polymorphism has been reported in a few cases in the world in co-dominance with TPMT(∗)3A. The phenotype has been reported to affect enzyme activity in vivo and in vitro. Its underlying structural basis is not clarified yet. In our study,...
