The enzyme that nicks one DNA strand to relieve twisting while DNA is copied. Camptothecins and the payloads of several antibody-drug conjugates trap it on the DNA so the nick becomes a permanent break when the cell replicates. This dossier gathers the 1 product (0 approved), 2 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.
Type IB topoisomerase that relieves torsional stress during replication and transcription; trapped as a covalent cleavage complex by camptothecins.
| Cancer | Prevalence | Measure | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metastatic cancer | all% | Housekeeping enzyme present in every dividing cell (DNA unwinding during replication); not a selection marker, which is why these drugs are given by cancer type rather than by test. |
