Name Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase alkB homolog 2
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. Alkylated DNA repair protein alkB homolog 2
  2. Oxy DC1
  3. DNA oxidative demethylase ALKBH2
Gene Name ALKBH2
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific Function Dioxygenase that repairs alkylated DNA and RNA containing 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine by oxidative demethylation. Can also repair alkylated DNA containing 1-ethenoadenine (in vitro). Has strong preference for double-stranded DNA. Has low efficiency with single-stranded substrates. Requires molecular oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate and iron.
