Function |
Antimutagenic. Acts as a sanitizing enzyme for oxidized nucleotide pools, thus suppressing cell dysfunction and death induced by oxidative stress. Hydrolyzes 8-oxo-dGTP, 8-oxo-dATP and 2-OH-dATP, thus preventing misincorporation of oxidized purine nucleoside triphosphates into DNA and subsequently preventing A:T to C:G and G:C to T:A transversions. Able to hydrolyze also the corresponding ribonucleotides, 2-OH-ATP, 8-oxo-GTP and 8-oxo-ATP. Does not play a role in U8 snoRNA decapping activity. Binds U8 snoRNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10373420, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10608900, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11139615, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12857738, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22556419}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Isoform p18: Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion matrix. Nucleus. Note=Mostly present in cytoplasm. Variant Met-124 has decreased efficiency in translocation to mitochondria.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed with highest expression in thymus, testis, embryo and proliferating blood lymphocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9211940}.
