MeSH Heading: Thymine DNA Glycosylase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.074.249.750; D08.811.277.450.430.099.750
Unique ID: D044502
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D044502
Scope Note: An enzyme that removes THYMINE and URACIL bases mispaired with GUANINE through hydrolysis of their N-glycosidic bond. These mispaired nucleotides generally occur through the hydrolytic DEAMINATION of 5-METHYLCYTOSINE to thymine.
