Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a deoxyribonucleoside kinase that specifically phosphorylates thymidine, deoxycytidine, and deoxyuridine. The encoded enzyme localizes to the mitochondria and is required for mitochondrial DNA synthesis. Mutations in this gene are associ

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
