Gene information for BLMH (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID642
Official gene symbolBLMH
Full namebleomycin hydrolase
Aliases,BH,BMH,
Gene summaryBleomycin hydrolase (BMH) is a cytoplasmic cysteine peptidase that is highly conserved through evolution; however, the only known activity of the enzyme 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. [provided by RefSeq]
