UniProt code: P29372.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Hydrolysis of the deoxyribose N-glycosidic bond to excise 3- methyladenine, and 7-methylguanine from the damaged DNA polymer formed by alkylation lesions.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Hydrolysis of alkylated DNA, releasing 3-methyladenine, 3- methylguanine, 7-methylguanine and 7-methyladenine.; EC=3.2.2.21;
Activity regulation: Binding to SSBP1 in mitochondria inhibits glycosylase activity in the context of a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), but not a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) substrates. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23290262}.
Subunit: Binds MBD1. Binds SSBP1.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23290262}. Mitochondrion matrix, mitochondrion nucleoid {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23290262}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23290262}.
Similarity: Belongs to the DNA glycosylase MPG family. {ECO:0000305}.
