Gene information for DCK (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1633
Official gene symbolDCK
Full namedeoxycytidine kinase
Aliases,MGC117410,MGC138632,
Gene summary Deoxycytidine kinase (DCK) is required for the phosphorylation of several deoxyribonucleosides and their nucleoside analogs. Deficiency of DCK is associated with resistance to antiviral and anticancer chemotherapeutic agents. Conversely, increased deoxycytidine kinase activity is associated with increased activation of these compounds to cytotoxic nucleoside triphosphate derivatives. DCK is clinically important because of its relationship to drug resistance and sensitivity. [provided by RefSeq]
