Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cytarabine is a prodrug which is activated to cytarabine triphosphate (Ara-CTP) through a series of phosphorylation steps. For considerable leukemic cell death, high level of Ara-CTP is required. Sterile alpha motif and histidine-aspartate domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) and Nucleotide diphosphate kinase-2 (NME2) are genes involved in Ara-CTP metabolism. To best of our knowledge, there are no...
