NTHL1 nth like DNA glycosylase 1

Gene ID: 4913, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FAP3; NTH1; OCTS3; hNTH1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA N-glycosylase of the endonuclease III family. Like a similar protein in E. coli, the encoded protein has DNA glycosylase activity on DNA substrates containing oxidized pyrimidine residues and has apurinic/apyrimidinic lyase activity.
