Enables 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine DNA N-glycosylase activity and microtubule binding activity. Acts upstream of or within base-excision repair. Located in mitochondrion and nucleus. Is expressed in junctional zone and labyrinthine zone. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Graves' disease; artery disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); eye disease (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple).
