DPYD is an important enzyme involved in pyrimidine base degradation and catabolism. DPYD catalyzes the reduction of uracil and thymine and also is a critical enzyme in the degradation of the chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluoruracil. DPYD is expressed in most cells and has highest activity in the liver and monocytes. Mutations in DPYD give rise to a range of symptoms and syndromes in patients ranging from no symptoms to highly convulsive and mental retardation caused by excessive amounts of uracil or thymine present in the blood. Because of its ability to degrade 5-fluorouracil, DPYD is studied as a cancer marker and a measure of therapeutic effects in many cancers. Recent research also shows that DPYD levels in the liver are regulated via microRNA interactions and an offer a new opportunity for modulation of this critical enzyme in health and disease.
