General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism thiopurine drugs, azathioprine, mercaptopurine, and thioguanine, are widely used in the treatment of several malignant and nonmalignant diseases. Patients with low-activity variants of thiopurine S-methyltransferase can be affected by pronounced pharmacologic effects when receiving thiopurine medications Homo sapiens
additional information a method used to determine thiopurine S-methyltransferase activity by measuring 6-MMP by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry while employing 6-methylmercaptopurine-d3 as an internal standard Homo sapiens
