RESUMO
@#Poly-adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerases (PARPs) play an important role in DNA repair and apoptosis.Among them, mono-(ADP-ribosyl) transferase (MARTs) can regulate various cell reactions by catalyzing and transferring single ADP-ribose.Most MARTs are highly expressed in cancers, which is closely related to the occurrence and progression of cancers.This review introduces the MARTs that are highly expressed in cancers, classifies them according to the differences of their structural domains, and reviews their known mechanism, their close relationship with cancers, their potential value in cancer therapy and the research progress of corresponding inhibitors.These targets are expected to provide new research ideas for cancer therapy in the era of precision medicine.
