Dtymk Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; dTMP kinase activity; and nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotide biosynthetic process; response to cadmium ion; and response to estrogen. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Orthologous to human DTYMK (deoxythymidylate kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Dtymk often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
