Dihydrothymine

Dihydrothymine is a metabolite of the pyrimidine nucleobase thymine. It is formed from thymine by dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). Dihydrothymine can also be produced from thymine by UV radiation. Levels of dihydrothymine are elevated during the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human mammary epithelial cells expressing Twist.Formal Name: dihydro-5-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione.
