(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID252969
Official gene symbolNEIL2
Full namenei endonuclease VIII-like 2 (E. coli)
Aliases,FLJ31644,MGC2832,MGC4505,NEH2,NEI2,
Gene summaryNEIL2 belongs to a class of DNA glycosylases homologous to the bacterial Fpg/Nei family. These glycosylases initiate the first step in base excision repair by cleaving bases damaged by reactive oxygen species and introducing a DNA strand break via the associated lyase reaction (Bandaru et al., 2002 [PubMed 12509226])[supplied by OMIM]
