UNG - uracil DNA glycosylase Gene
Also Known as DGU; UDG; UNG1; UNG2; HIGM4; HIGM5; UNG15
Species: Homo sapiens
About UNG
This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 223 orthologues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in adrenal (RPKM 23.4), testis (RPKM 16.9) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
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]
