Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence suggest that up-regulation of asparagine synthetase (AS) in human T-cells results in metabolic changes that underpin the appearance of asparaginase-resistant forms of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Inhibitors of human AS therefore have potential as agents for treating leukemia and tools for investigating the cellular basis of AS expression and drug-resistance. A critical problem in...
