Clinical significance and diagnostic capacity of serum TK1, CEA, CA 19-9 and CA 72-4 levels in gastric and colorectal cancer patients.

TL;DR: In conclusion, serum TK1 may be an independent tumor marker for GC and CRC patients, and the combination of TK 1, CA 19-9 and CA 72-4 and CEA performed even better.
Journal ArticleDOI

The proliferation marker thymidine kinase 1 in clinical use (Review)

TL;DR: Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1), a cell cycle-dependent and thus a proliferation-related marker, has been extensively studied during the last decades and is an emerging potential proliferating biomarker in oncology that may be used for the prognosis and monitoring of tumor therapy, relapse and survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crucial roles of thymidine kinase 1 and deoxyUTPase in incorporating the antineoplastic nucleosides trifluridine and 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine into DNA.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that FTD and FdUrd are incorporated into DNA with different efficiencies due to differences in the substrate specificities of TK1 and DUT, causing abundant FTD incorporation into DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of HPRT and its emerging role in cancer.

TL;DR: Hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase has the potential to become a significant biomarker not only for the characterization of cancer, but also for its potential treatment.

The use of drug-resistant markers to study the hybridization of mouse fibroblasts.

TL;DR: When 2 clonal sublines of mouse fibroblasts lacking either guanylic acid-inosinic acid pyrophosphorylase or thymidine kinase were grown together in mixed culture for 4 days, it was possible by a selective technique to detect hybrid cells at a frequency of 1 to 5 × 10−6.

Structural basis for substrate specificities of cellular deoxyribonucleoside kinases.

TL;DR: The structure of the Drosophila deoxyribonucleoside Kinase with deoxycytidine bound at the nucleoside binding site and that of the human deoxyguanosine kinase with ATP at the nucleus substrate binding site are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitotic Degradation of Human Thymidine Kinase 1 Is Dependent on the Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome-Cdh1-Mediated Pathway

TL;DR: It is concluded that activation of the APC/C-Cdh1 complex during mitotic exit controls timing of hTK1 destruction, thus effectively minimizing dTTP formation from the salvage pathway in the early G1 phase of the cell cycle in mammalian cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structures of thymidine kinase 1 of human and mycoplasmic origin.

TL;DR: The TK1 structure differs fundamentally from the structures of the other deoxyribonucleoside kinases, indicating a different evolutionary origin.
