Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1806
Gene name Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase
Gene symbol DPYD
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DHPDHPDHASEDPDDYPD
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p21.3
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a pyrimidine catabolic enzyme and the initial and rate-limiting factor in the pathway of uracil and thymidine catabolism. Mutations in this gene result in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency, an error in pyrimidi
