Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Required for the phosphorylation of several deoxyribonucleosides and certain nucleoside analogs widely employed as antiviral and chemotherapeutic agents. {ECO:0000269PubMed:8706825}.

Subcellular Localization

Mitochondrion.

Disease Associations

Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 3 (MTDPS3) [MIM:251880]: A disorder due to mitochondrial dysfunction characterized by onset in infancy of progressive liver failure, hypoglycemia, increased lactate in body fluids, and neurologic abnormalities including hypotonia, encephalopathy, peripheral neuropathy. Affected tissues show both decreased activity of the mtDNA-encoded respiratory chain complexes and mtDNA depletion. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12205643, ECO:0000269PubMed:15639197}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. Highest expression in muscle, brain, liver and lymphoid tissues. {ECO:0000269PubMed:8706825}.
