Gene information for MUTYH (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4595
Official gene symbolMUTYH
Full namemutY homolog (E. coli)
Aliases,CYP2C,MGC4416,MYH,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a DNA glycosylase involved in oxidative DNA damage repair. The enzyme excises adenine bases from the DNA backbone at sites where adenine is inappropriately paired with guanine, cytosine, or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, a major oxidatively damaged DNA lesion. The protein is localized to the nucleus and mitochondria. Mutations in this gene result in heritable predisposition to colon and stomach cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
