UNG

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.

Involvement in disease

Immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM 5

HIGM5

A rare immunodeficiency syndrome characterized by normal or elevated serum IgM levels with absence of IgG, IgA, and IgE. It results in a profound susceptibility to bacterial infections.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Post-translational modifications

Isoform 1 is processed by cleavage of a transit peptide.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) superfamily. UNG family.

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.
