Product Description
Thymine-DNA Glycosylase Human Recombinant
Overview
Thymine-DNA glycosylase (TDG) is a member of the TDG/mug DNA glycosylase family. TDG is a nuclear protein that fixes G/T mismatches to G/C pairs by hydrolyzing the carbon-nitrogen bond between the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA and the mispaired thymin. In addition, TDG removes uracil and 5-bromouracil from mispairings with guanine. The TDG enzyme has an essential role in cellular defense against genetic mutation triggered by the spontaneous deamination of 5-methylcytosine and cytosine.
Specifications
