Target Gene(s) and Their Upstream m6A Regulator, Together with the Effect of Target Gene(s) in Drug Response
The target genes involved in drug-target interaction (such as drug-metabolizing enzymes, drug transporters and therapeutic targets) and drug-mediated cell death signaling (including modulating DNA damage and repair capacity, escaping from drug-induced apoptosis, autophagy, cellular metabolic reprogramming, oncogenic bypass signaling, cell microenvironment, cell stemness, etc.) could be regulated by m6A regulator(s) and affected their corresponding drug response. You can browse detailed information on drug-related target gene(s) mediated by m6A regulators.
Alanine/serine/cysteine/threonine transporter 2 (SLC1A5)
Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO)
In total 1 mechanisms lead to this potential drug response
Response Summary Alanine/serine/cysteine/threonine transporter 2 (SLC1A5) is a therapeutic target for Acyclovir. The Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) has potential in affecting the response of Acyclovir through regulating the expression of Alanine/serine/cysteine/threonine transporter 2 (SLC1A5). [1], [2]
Breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2)
Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3)
In total 1 mechanisms lead to this potential drug response
Response Summary Breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2) is a therapeutic target for Acyclovir. The Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) has potential in affecting the response of Acyclovir through regulating the expression of Breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2). [3], [4]
