5'-Deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase catalyzes
the phosphorolytic cleavage of 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine
to form 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioribose-1-phosphate and
adenine in mammalian cells and plays an important role in
methionine and purine salvage. The enzyme is abundant in
normal tissues and in cell lines derived from normal cells.
However, several malignant tissues and cell lines have been...
