SMUG1 polyclonal antibody

The base excision repair (BER) pathway removes incorrect bases (uracil) or damaged bases (3-methyladenine) from chromatin. Each BER enzyme system addresses a specific type of base damage. Uracil-DNA glycosylases, UNG2 and SMUG1 (single-strand selective monofunctional uracil DNA glycosylase) remove uracil from both double- and single-stranded DNA in nucleosomes (chromatin core particle). The uracil-excising enzyme family shares structural and functional conservation with minimal sequence conservation. The human SMUG1 gene maps to chromosome 12q13.13.
