Gene information for ALKBH2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID121642
Official gene symbolALKBH2
Full namealkB, alkylation repair homolog 2 (E. coli)
Aliases,ABH2,FLJ99103,MGC90512,
Gene summaryThe Escherichia coli AlkB protein protects against the cytotoxicity of methylating agents by repair of the specific DNA lesions generated in single-stranded DNA. ALKBH2 and ALKBH3 (MIM 610603) are E. coli AlkB homologs that catalyze the removal of 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine (Duncan et al., 2002 [PubMed 12486230]).[supplied by OMIM]
