Bioavailability and cytosolic kinases modulate response to deoxynucleoside therapy in TK2 deficiencyResearch in context

Background: TK2 is a nuclear gene encoding the mitochondrial matrix protein thymidine kinase 2 (TK2), a critical enzyme in the mitochondrial nucleotide salvage pathway. Deficiency of TK2 activity causes mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion, which in humans manifests predominantly as a mitochondrial m...
