NUDT15 (Nucleotide triphosphate diphosphatase NUDT15) is an enzyme. The public catalogues list it as a drug target and a biomarker, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 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.

Biology

Catalyses the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates including dGTP, dTTP, dCTP, their oxidised forms like 8-oxo-dGTP and the prodrug thiopurine derivatives 6-thio-dGTP and 6-thio-GTP. Could also catalyse the hydrolysis of some nucleoside diphosphate derivatives. Hydrolyses oxidised nucleosides triphosphates like 8-oxo-dGTP in vitro, but the specificity and efficiency towards these substrates are low. Therefore, the potential in vivo sanitising role of this enzyme, that would consist in removing oxidatively damaged forms of nucleosides to prevent their incorporation into DNA, is unclear. Through the hydrolysis of thioguanosine triphosphates may participate in the catabolism of thiopurine drugs. May also have a role in DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression by stabilising PCNA. Locus 13q14.2 (HGNC).
