Primary Identifier | MGI:1313275 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 18207 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA N-glycosylase activity and DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity. Involved in nucleotide-excision repair. Located in mitochondrion and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial adenomatous polyposis 3. Orthologous to human NTHL1 (nth like DNA glycosylase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit slower hepatic repair of thymine glycol DNA lesions after treatment with X-rays. Mutants are overtly normal, long-lived, and fertile. [provided by MGI curators] |
