UNG

Species
Homo sapiens
Symbol
UNG
Name
uracil DNA glycosylase
Synonyms
  • DGU
  • DKFZp781L1143
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables damaged DNA binding activity; ribosomal small subunit binding activity; and uracil DNA N-glycosylase activity. Involved in base-excision repair, AP site formation via deaminated base removal. Located in mitochondrion and nucleoplasm. Implicated in dysgammaglobulinemia and immunodeficiency with hyper IgM type 5.
RGD Description
This gene encodes one of several uracil-DNA glycosylases. One important function of uracil-DNA glycosylases is to prevent mutagenesis by eliminating uracil from DNA molecules by cleaving the N-glycosylic bond and initiating the base-excision repair (BER) pathway. Uracil bases occur from cytosine deamination or misincorporation of dUMP residues. Alternative promoter usage and splicing of this gene leads to two different isoforms: the mitochondrial UNG1 and the nuclear UNG2. The UNG2 term was used as a previous symbol for the CCNO gene (GeneID 10309), which has been confused with this gene, in the literature and some databases. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
