Description
Single-strand-selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase, also known as SMuG1, is a enzyme responsible for recognizing base lesions in the genome and initiating base excision DNA repair. This protein acts as a monofunctional DNA glycosylase specific for uracil (u) residues in DNA and has a preference for single-stranded DNA substrates. Recombinant human SMuG1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
