DHODH is an enzyme cells need to make pyrimidines, the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Blocking it pushed immature leukaemia cells to mature in mouse studies, and a DHODH inhibitor is in an early trial in solid tumours and lymphoma. This dossier gathers the 1 product (0 approved), 1 trial, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Enzyme that uses a quinone as electron acceptor to make orotate, required for UMP biosynthesis by the de novo pathway (UniProt Q02127).
