======= TYMP ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: TYMP * **Official Name**: thymidine phosphorylase * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=1890|1890]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P19971|P19971]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=TYMP&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20TYMP|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/131222|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: This gene encodes an angiogenic factor which promotes angiogenesis in vivo and stimulates the in vitro growth of a variety of endothelial cells. It has a highly restricted target cell specificity acting only on endothelial cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]. * **UniProt Summary**: May have a role in maintaining the integrity of the blood vessels. Has growth promoting activity on endothelial cells, angiogenic activity in vivo and chemotactic activity on endothelial cells in vitro. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1590793}. |Glycos transf 3| |PYNP C| |Glycos trans 3N| |pyrimidine-nucleoside phosphorylase activity| |thymidine phosphorylase activity| |phosphorylase activity| |regulation of gastric motility| |pyrimidine nucleoside salvage| |pyrimidine-containing compound salvage| |nucleoside salvage| |pyrimidine nucleoside biosynthetic process| |regulation of transmission of nerve impulse| |mitochondrial genome maintenance| |pyrimidine nucleobase metabolic process| |pyrimidine nucleoside catabolic process| |nucleoside catabolic process| |cellular metabolic compound salvage| |pyrimidine nucleoside metabolic process| |nucleoside biosynthetic process| |regulation of digestive system process| |regulation of myelination| |glycosyl compound biosynthetic process| |nucleobase metabolic process| |pyrimidine-containing compound catabolic process| |glycosyl compound catabolic process| |nucleobase-containing small molecule catabolic process| |pyrimidine-containing compound biosynthetic process| |nucleobase-containing small molecule biosynthetic process| |pyrimidine-containing compound metabolic process| |nucleoside metabolic process| |glycosyl compound metabolic process| |regulation of nervous system process| |growth factor activity| |carbohydrate derivative catabolic process| |angiogenesis| |nucleobase-containing compound catabolic process| |blood vessel morphogenesis| |heterocycle catabolic process| |cellular nitrogen compound catabolic process| |small molecule catabolic process| |mitochondrion organization| |aromatic compound catabolic process| |organic cyclic compound catabolic process| |blood vessel development| |vasculature development| |cardiovascular system development| |nucleobase-containing small molecule metabolic process| |chemotaxis| |taxis| |regulation of system process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |carbohydrate derivative biosynthetic process| |tube morphogenesis| |tube development| |circulatory system development| |protein homodimerization activity| |anatomical structure formation involved in morphogenesis| |regulation of nervous system development| |carbohydrate derivative metabolic process| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |nucleobase-containing compound biosynthetic process| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |locomotion| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |small molecule metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
