Bleomycin hydrolase

Bleomycin hydrolase

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Bleomycin hydrolase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BLMH gene.[5][6][7]

Quick Facts BLMH, Available structures ...

Bleomycin hydrolase (BMH) is a cytoplasmic cysteine peptidase that is highly conserved through evolution. Its biological function is hydrolysis of the reactive electrophile homocysteine thiolactone.[8] Another of its activities is metabolic inactivation of the glycopeptide bleomycin (BLM), an essential component of combination chemotherapy regimens for cancer. The protein contains the signature active site residues of the cysteine protease papain superfamily.[7]

Interactions

BLMH has been shown to interact with RPL29,[9] RPL11,[9] UBE2I[10] and Amyloid precursor protein.[11]
