Literature associating DGUOK and mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 7

DGUOK [ENSP00000264093]

Deoxyguanosine kinase, mitochondrial; Phosphorylates deoxyguanosine and deoxyadenosine in the mitochondrial matrix, with the highest efficiency for deoxyguanosine. In non-replicating cells, where cytosolic dNTP synthesis is down- regulated, mtDNA synthesis depends solely on DGUOK and TK2. Phosphorylates certain nucleoside analogs. Widely used as target of antiviral and chemotherapeutic agents. ECO:0000269|PubMed:17073823, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23043144,
