- HMDB0015167 (Mercaptopurine)
- Term
- Azathioprine Metabolism Pathway
- Definition
- azathioprine is first converted in vivo to mercaptopurine in the liver. mercaptopurine then travels through the bloodstream and is transported into cells via nucleoside transporters.
- Parent Term
- Biochemical pathway
- Parent Definition
