Rabbit anti-Human OGG1 Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O15527

Target Species

Human

Target Name

OGG1

Target Full Name

N-glycosylase/DNA lyase

Target Function

DNA repair enzyme that incises DNA at 8-oxoG residues. Excises 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-N-methylformamidopyrimidine (FAPY) from damaged DNA. Has a beta-lyase activity that nicks DNA 3' to the lesion.

Target Involvement

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Nucleus speckle. Nucleus matrix. Note=Together with APEX1 is recruited to nuclear speckles in UVA-irradiated cells.; [Isoform 1A]: Nucleus.; [Isoform 2A]: Mitochondrion.

Target Protein Families

Type-1 OGG1 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous.

Target Research Area

Cancer

Target Background

This gene encodes the enzyme responsible for the excision of 8-oxoguanine, a mutagenic base byproduct which occurs as a result of exposure to reactive oxygen. The action of this enzyme includes lyase activity for chain cleavage. Alternative splicing of the C-terminal region of this gene classifies splice variants into two major groups, type 1 and type 2, depending on the last exon of the sequence. Type 1 alternative splice variants end with exon 7 and type 2 end with exon 8. All variants share the N-terminal region in common, which contains a mitochondrial targeting signal that is essential for mitochondrial localization. Many alternative splice variants for this gene have been described, but the full-length nature for every variant has not been determined.
