NEIL3 nei like DNA glycosylase 3

Gene ID: 55247, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FGP2; FPG2; NEI3; ZGRF3; hFPG2; hNEI3

Summary

NEIL3 belongs to a class of DNA glycosylases homologous to the bacterial Fpg/Nei family. These glycosylases initiate the first step in base excision repair by cleaving bases damaged by reactive oxygen species and introducing a DNA strand break via the associated lyase reaction (Bandaru et al., 2002 [PubMed 12509226]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
