Protein name Thymidine kinase 2, mitochondrial (EC 2.7.1.21) (2'-deoxyuridine kinase TK2) (EC 2.7.1.74) (Deoxycytidine kinase TK2) (EC 2.7.1.-) (Mt-TK)
Protein function Phosphorylates thymidine, deoxycytidine, and deoxyuridine in the mitochondrial matrix (PubMed:11687801, PubMed:9989599). In non-replicating cells, where cytosolic dNTP synthesis is down-regulated, mtDNA synthesis depends solely on TK2 and DGUOK
