Integrase
Audio
An enzyme found in HIV (and other retroviruses). HIV uses integrase to insert (integrate) its viral DNA into the DNA of the host CD4 cell. Integration is a crucial step in the HIV life cycle and is blocked by a class of antiretroviral (ARV) HIV drugs called integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs).
