GART is one of the enzymes that builds purines from scratch; pemetrexed blocks it alongside thymidylate synthase, which is why the drug starves fast-growing lung and mesothelioma cells. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
A cytosolic enzyme of the purine pathway whose activity rises with proliferation; inhibition depletes purine nucleotides needed for DNA and RNA.
| Cancer | Prevalence | Measure | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metastatic cancer | all% | Housekeeping enzyme present in every dividing cell (purine synthesis); not a selection marker, which is why these drugs are given by cancer type rather than by test. |
