Uracil-DNA glycosylase
Encyclopedia
Uracil-DNA glycosylase, also known as UNG or UDG, is a human gene
Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

 though orthologs exist ubiquitously among prokaryotes and eukaryotes and even in some DNA viruses. The first uracil DNA-glycosylase was isolated from Escherichia coli.

Interactions

Uracil-DNA glycosylase has been shown to interact
Protein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...

 with RPA2
RPA2
Replication protein A 32 kDa subunit is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPA2 gene.-Interactions:RPA2 has been shown to interact with Ku70, Replication protein A1, RPA3, DNA-PKcs, STAT3, Cyclin O, MEN1, TP53BP1 and Uracil-DNA glycosylase....
