Description
NTHL1, also known as nth endonuclease III-like protein 1, is one of the enzyme that has been shown to act on a large number of oxidatively damaged DNA sites. It has an apurinic and/or apyrimidinic endonuclease activity and a DNA N-glycosylase activity. It acts on a damaged strand, 5' from the damaged site and incises damaged DNA at cytosines, thymines and guanines. Recombinant human NTHL1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography
