TPMT antibody has been tested by ELISA, Western blot analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Recommended dilution range for Western blot analysis is 1:1,000.
Anti-human TPMT mAb, is derived from hybridization of mouse FO myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant human TPMT amino acids 1-245 purified from E. coli.
TPMT, thiopurine S-methyltransferase, is a cytosolic enzyme that metabolizes thiopurine drugs via S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the S-methyl donor and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine as a byproduct. TPMT activity exhibits autosomal codominant genetic polymorphism, and patients inheriting TPMT-deficiency are at high risk of potentially fatal hematopoietic toxicity.
