NUDT15 polyclonal antibody

NUDT15 (nudix (nucleoside diphosphate linked moiety X)-type motif 15), also known as MTH2, is a 164 amino acid protein that belongs to the nudix hydrolase family and uses magnesium as a cofactor to catalyze the conversion of 8-oxo-dGTP to 8-oxo-dGMP and diphosphate. Via its catalytic activity, NUDT15 mediates the hydrolysis of select nucleoside diphosphate derivatives and may play a role in the prevention of DNA transversions. The gene encoding NUDT15 maps to human chromosome 13, which houses over 400 genes, such as BRCA2 and RB1, and comprises nearly 4% of the human genome.
