ALKBH1 Antibody

Nucleic acid dioxygenase ALKBH1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALKBH1 gene. It is mapped to 14q24.3. This gene encodes a homolog to the E. coli alkB gene product. The E. coli alkB protein is part of the adaptive response mechanism of DNA alkylation damage repair. It is involved in damage reversal by oxidative demethylation of 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine.
