Encodes thymidylate kinase which exists in two isoforms in plants. The longer variant of 263 amino acids with a N-terminal extension that is required for localization to the mitochondrion. The second isoform of 224 residues is localized to the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Peak of expression occurs during G1/S phase transition.
