Loss of thymidine phosphorylase activity disrupts adipocyte differentiation and induces insulin-resistant lipoatrophic diabetes. [PDF]
Thymidine phosphorylase (TP), encoded by the TYMP gene, is a cytosolic enzyme essential for the nucleotide salvage pathway. TP catalyzes the phosphorylation of the deoxyribonucleosides, thymidine and 2′-deoxyuridine, to thymine and uracil. Biallelic TYMP

Thymidine phosphorylase in cancer aggressiveness and chemoresistance
Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) is a rate-limiting enzyme in thymidine catabolism. TP has several important roles in biological and pharmacological mechanisms; importantly TP acts as an angiogenic factor and one of metabolic enzymes of fluoro-pyrimidine anticancer agents and modifies inflammation.

Thymidine Phosphorylase Inhibitory Potential and Molecular Docking Studies of Secondary Metabolites Isolated From Fernandoa adenophylla (Wall. ex G. Don) Steenis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study investigates the potential of Fernandoa adenophylla, a South American plant, as a reservoir of compounds with thymidine phosphorylase (TP) inhibitory activity. Through a comprehensive approach combining in vitro assays and molecular docking analysis, we isolated and characterized bioactive compounds from F.
