Description
Topoisomerase II alpha (Topo IIa) is crucial for DNA synthesis, RNA transcription, and chromosomal segregation during mitosis. It is identified as a sensitive and specific marker for the late S, G2, and M stages in both transformed and developmentally controlled normal cells. Topo IIa is associated with drug resistance in tumor cells and is demonstrated to be over-expressed in numerous human malignancies. The primary mechanism of resistance to many chemotherapeutic drugs is the reduced expression of Topo IIa.
