Thymidylate synthase

BE0001438ProteinEscherichia coli (strain K12)thyA

Catalyzes the reductive methylation of 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-monophosphate (dUMP) to 2'-deoxythymidine-5'-monophosphate (dTMP) while utilizing 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (mTHF) as the methyl donor and reductant in the reaction, yielding dihydrofolate (DHF) as a by-product (PubMed:2223754, PubMed:3286637, PubMed:9826509). It is acted on by 24 drugs in DrugBank.
