Human fetal-to-adult globin gene switching in transgenic mice: persistent expression of the G gamma-globin gene in the Japanese HPFH.

abstract：:S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (AHCY) catalyzes the reversible hydrolysis of S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) to adenosine and l-homocysteine. This enzyme is frequently overexpressed in many tumor types and is considered to be a validated anti-tumor target. In order to enable the development of small molecule AHCY inhib...
