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.
Subcellular Location Isoform 1: Mitochondrion.
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.
Top Pathways Primary immunodeficiency, Base excision repair
