DESCRIPTION

Also known as 8ODP_MOUSE, Nudt1, Mth1. Oxidized purine nucleoside triphosphate hydrolase which is a prominent sanitizer of the oxidized nucleotide pool (PubMed:11572992, PubMed:29281266, PubMed:7592783, PubMed:30304478). Catalyzes the hydrolysis of 2-oxo-dATP (2-hydroxy-dATP) into 2-oxo-dAMP (By similarity). Has also a significant hydrolase activity toward 2-oxo-ATP, 8-oxo-dGTP and 8-oxo-dATP (PubMed:11572992, PubMed:29281266, PubMed:7592783, PubMed:30304478). Through the hydrolysis of oxidized purine nucleoside triphosphates, prevents their incorporation into DNA and the subsequent transversions A:T to C:G and G:C to T:A (PubMed:11572992, PubMed:29281266, PubMed:7592783, PubMed:30304478). Also catalyzes the hydrolysis of methylated purine nucleoside triphosphate preventing their integration into DNA (PubMed:30304478, PubMed:32144205). Through this antimutagenic activity protects cells from oxidative stress (PubMed:11572992, PubMed:29281266, PubMed:7592783, PubMed:30304478, PubMed:32144205). Monomer.
