What this target is

Its function as UniProt states it, where in a cell the protein is found, and which cell types and tissues transcribe its gene.

Protein

DCK_HUMANDCKHomo sapiens

Deoxycytidine kinase

Phosphorylates the deoxyribonucleosides deoxycytidine, deoxyguanosine and deoxyadenosine12808445,18377927,19159229,1996353,20614893,20637175. Has broad substrate specificity, and does not display selectivity based on the chirality of the substrate. It is also an essential enzyme for the phosphorylation of numerous nucleoside analogs widely employed as antiviral and chemotherapeutic agents12808445

Quoted from UniProt’s FUNCTION annotation for P27707 (reviewed). The superscript numbers are UniProt’s own PubMed citations, kept in the sentence and in order, each linking to the paper it names.

What it acts with

STRING’s highest-confidence human functional partners. The combined score mixes several kinds of evidence, so each channel is shown separately — a partner supported by experiment is a different claim from one supported only by text mining, and for a receptor this is where its coupling appears as evidence rather than as assertion.

Expression by cell type

Single cell type RNA, the 7 highest of those the Human Protein Atlas reports for this gene. Transcript, not protein, and a cell type rather than a tissue.

  • Monocyte progenitors94.4 nCPM
  • Kupffer cells85.1 nCPM
  • Erythrocyte progenitors82.3 nCPM
  • Platelets79.2 nCPM
  • Early primary spermatocytes66.3 nCPM
  • B-cells66.1 nCPM

Expression by tissue

The tissues this gene is enriched in, by consensus RNA. A tissue absent from this list is one the Atlas does not call specific for this gene, which is not the same as absent from it.
