Description
Background: Deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) is required for the phosphorylation of several deoxyribonucleoside analogues that are widely employed as chemotherapeutic agents(PMID:12628850). It is also a key enzyme in the phosphorylation of a variety of antineoplastic and antiviral nucleoside analogs including cytosine arabinoside (araC) and dideoxycytidine (ddCyd); deficiency of deoxycytidine kinase activity mediates resistance to these drugs(PMID:1996353). This protein can exsit as a homodimer(PMID:16421443). This antibody is specific to DCK
