Term Information

Accession
GO:0019104
Name
DNA N-glycosylase activity
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
DNA glycosylase activity, endonuclease VIII activity
Alternate IDs
GO:0008578
Definition
Catalysis of the removal of damaged bases by cleaving the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar. The reaction releases a free base and leaves an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site. Source: PMID:11554296, GOC:elh
