Functional characterizations of plant uracil phosphoribosyltransferase uprt and phytaspase for their potential in cancer therapy

Abstract

In burgeoning field of cancer research plant bioactive compounds and plant therapeutic proteins have been found very effective on persisting drug resistant cancer Although many plant derived compounds are either in market or under clinical trials there is still need of in depth analysis on the plant functional proteins Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase UPRT and phytaspase caspase like protease are two such functional plant proteins which are reported to have their functional counterparts i
