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}.
