| UniProt functional annotation for P13051 | |||
| UniProt code: P13051. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Excises uracil residues from the DNA which can arise as a result of misincorporation of dUMP residues by DNA polymerase or due to deamination of cytosine. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Hydrolyzes single-stranded DNA or mismatched double-stranded DNA and polynucleotides, releasing free uracil.; EC=3.2.2.27; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03166}; | |
| Subunit: | Monomer. Interacts with FAM72A. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_03166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18676834}. | |
| Subunit: | (Microbial infection) Interacts with HIV-1 Vpr. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8551605}. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform 1]: Mitochondrion. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform 2]: Nucleus. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Isoform 1 is widely expressed with the highest expression in skeletal muscle, heart and testicles. Isoform 2 has the highest expression levels in tissues containing proliferating cells. | |
| Ptm: | Isoform 1 is processed by cleavage of a transit peptide. | |
| Disease: | Immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM 5 (HIGM5) [MIM:608106]: A rare immunodeficiency syndrome characterized by normal or elevated serum IgM levels with absence of IgG, IgA, and IgE. It results in a profound susceptibility to bacterial infections. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12958596, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15967827}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) superfamily. UNG family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03166}. | |
