Feline thymidine kinase 1: molecular characterization and evaluation of its serum form as a diagnostic biomarker

Abstract Background Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) catalyzes the initial phosphorylation of thymidine in the salvage pathway synthesis of dTTP, an essential building block of DNA. TK1 is a cytosolic enzyme with its highest level during the S-phase of the cell cycle. In cancer cells TK1 is upregulated and...
