Application

2′-Deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate (dUMP) is used by the enzyme thymidylate synthetase (TS) (EC 2.1.1.45) for the de novo production of dTMP. dUMP is used as the reference substrate in studies of dUMP analogues in potential chemotherapy applications.

2′-Deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate disodium salt has been used:in ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS/MS) assayto stimulate proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMCs) exposed to influenza virus antigenin thymidylate synthase activity assay Helicobacter pylori

Biochem/physiol Actions

2′-Deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate disodium salt (dUMP) conversion to pyrimidine is inhibited by methotrexate. The inhibition of dUMP to deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP) at the methylation step is a key in controlling bacterial and eukaryotic cell growth.

General description

2′-Deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate disodium salt (dUMP) is a substrate for thymidylate synthase and is converted to deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP).
