Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable DNA N-glycosylase activity; identical protein binding activity; and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in base-excision repair. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA damage response. Predicted to be located in cytosol; fibrillar center; and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including lower urogenital tract; palatal shelf; reproductive system; retina layer; and urethra epithelium. Orthologous to human SMUG1 (single-strand-selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase 1).
