Abstract excerpt
Bleomycin is a glycopeptide drug that exerts potent genotoxic potential and is highly effective in the treatment of certain cancers when used in combination therapy. Unfortunately, however, tumors often develop resistance against bleomycin, and the mechanism of this resistance remains unclear. It has been postulated that bleomycin hydrolase, a protease encoded by the BLH1 gene in humans, may account for tumor...
