Disease relevance of FCY2

  • By applying a highly sensitive assay, a low-level but dose-dependent toxicity of 5-FC in fcy2 mutants was detected, whereas cells deficient in the cytosine deaminase (encoded by FCY1), which is essential for intracellular conversion of 5-FC to 5-fluorouracil, display strong dose-independent resistance [1].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of FCY2

  • In ELISA, sera reacted with the synthetic peptide and with specific proteins of plasma-membrane-enriched fractions of mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae pAB strains (amplified FCY2 gene) with high titers and high avidity [6].
