DNA Topoisomerase 2-alpha, EC=5.99.1.3, Topoisomerase (DNA) II alpha 170kDa
DNA topoisomerase 2 catalyzes the transient breaking and rejoining of double stranded DNA during events such as DNA synthesis and transcription. Two forms of this enzyme exist, alpha and beta. DNA topoisomerase 2 alpha (TOP2A) is localized to chromosome 17 and the beta gene is localized to chromosome 3. At least 4 isoforms of TOP2A are produced by alternate splicing.
