Human Bleomycin Hydrolase: Molecular Cloning, Sequencing, Functional Expression, and Enzymatic Characterization
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
We have cloned the cDNA of human bleomycin hydrolase (hBH), a protease which is thought to be involved in the metabolic inactivation of the antineoplastic drug bleomycin. The open reading frame consists of 1365 base pairs and is predicted to encode a 52 kDa protein. The protein shares 40% identity with yeast bleomycin hydrolase and contains the conserved active site residues (Cys, His, Asn) characteristic for...
