Mechanism of EE-TP action. Plasma thymidine and deoxyuridine enter the erythrocyte via nucleoside transports located in the cell membrane, where the encapsulated thymidine phosphorylase catalyses their metabolism to thymine and uracil. The products are then free to diffuse out of the cell into the blood plasma where they can enter the normal metabolic pathways.
