Thiopurine methyltransferase or thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme (EC 2.1.1.67) that methylates thiopurine compounds.
The methyl donor is S-adenosyl-L-methionine, which is converted to S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine.
This gene encodes the enzyme that metabolizes thiopurine drugs via S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the S-methyl donor and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine as a byproduct.
Thiopurine drugs such as 6-mercaptopurine are used as chemotherapeutic agents.
Genetic polymorphisms that affect this enzymatic activity are correlated with variations in sensitivity and toxicity to such drugs within individuals.
A pseudogene for this locus is located on chromosome 18q.
