Rabbit anti-Human NTH1 Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P78549

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NTHL1

Target Full Name

Endonuclease III-like protein 1

Target Function

Bifunctional DNA N-glycosylase with associated apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) lyase function that catalyzes the first step in base excision repair (BER), the primary repair pathway for the repair of oxidative DNA damage. The DNA N-glycosylase activity releases the damaged DNA base from DNA by cleaving the N-glycosidic bond, leaving an AP site. The AP-lyase activity cleaves the phosphodiester bond 3' to the AP site by a beta-elimination. Primarily recognizes and repairs oxidative base damage of pyrimidines. Has also 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) DNA glycosylase activity. Acts preferentially on DNA damage opposite guanine residues in DNA. Is able to process lesions in nucleosomes without requiring or inducing nucleosome disruption.

Target Involvement

Familial adenomatous polyposis 3 (FAP3)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Mitochondrion.

Target Protein Families

Nth/MutY family

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed with highest levels in heart and lowest levels in lung and liver.

Target Synonyms

Bifunctional DNA N glycoslyase/DNA (apurinic or apyrimidinic site) lyase; DNA glycoslyase/AP lyase; Endonuclease III like protein 1; Endonuclease III-like protein 1; hNTH1; NTH 1; nth endonuclease III like 1 (E. coli); NTH endonuclease III Like 1; NTH1; NTHL 1; Nthl1; NTHL1_HUMAN; OCTS 3; OCTS3

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA N-glycosylase of the endonuclease III family. Like a similar protein in E. coli, the encoded protein has DNA glycosylase activity on DNA substrates containing oxidized pyrimidine residues and has apurinic/apyrimidinic lyase activity.
