One important function of uracil-DNA glycosylases is to prevent mutagenesis by eliminating uracil from DNA molecules by cleaving the N-glycosylic bond and initiating the base-excision repair (BER) pathway. Uracil bases occur from cytosine deamination or misincorporation of dUMP residues. Alternative promoter usage and splicing of this gene leads to two different isoforms: the mitochondrial UNG1 and the nuclear UNG2. The UNG2 term was used as a previous symbol for the CCNO gene (GeneID 10309), which has been confused with this gene, in the literature and some databases. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: 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. |UDG| |base-excision repair, AP site formation via deaminated base removal| |uracil DNA N-glycosylase activity| |depyrimidination| |base-excision repair, AP site formation| |pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotide catabolic process| |pyrimidine nucleotide catabolic process| |ribosomal small subunit binding| |somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin genes| |somatic diversification of immune receptors via somatic mutation| |somatic diversification of immunoglobulins involved in immune response| |somatic recombination of immunoglobulin genes involved in immune response| |isotype switching| |deoxyribonucleotide catabolic process| |pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotide metabolic process| |deoxyribose phosphate catabolic process| |somatic recombination of immunoglobulin gene segments| |immunoglobulin production involved in immunoglobulin mediated immune response| |2-deoxyribonucleotide metabolic process| |deoxyribose phosphate metabolic process| |deoxyribonucleotide metabolic process| |somatic diversification of immune receptors via germline recombination within a single locus| |somatic cell DNA recombination| |somatic diversification of immunoglobulins| |base-excision repair| |pyrimidine-containing compound catabolic process| |B cell activation involved in immune response| |somatic diversification of immune receptors| |damaged DNA binding| |pyrimidine nucleotide metabolic process| |nucleotide catabolic process| |nucleoside phosphate catabolic process| |DNA modification| |pyrimidine-containing compound metabolic process| |nucleobase-containing small molecule biosynthetic process| |lymphocyte activation involved in immune response| |organophosphate catabolic process| |B cell activation| |immunoglobulin production| |production of molecular mediator of immune response| |carbohydrate derivative catabolic process| |immunoglobulin mediated immune response| |B cell mediated immunity| |DNA recombination| |lymphocyte mediated immunity| |adaptive immune response based on somatic recombination of immune receptors built from immunoglobulin superfamily domains| |nucleobase-containing compound catabolic process| |lymphocyte activation| |heterocycle catabolic process| |cellular nitrogen compound catabolic process| |aromatic compound catabolic process| |nucleotide metabolic process| |nucleoside phosphate metabolic process| |organic cyclic compound catabolic process| |DNA repair| |nucleobase-containing small molecule metabolic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |adaptive immune response| |leukocyte activation involved in immune response| |cell activation involved in immune response| |immune system development| |viral process| |DNA metabolic process| |leukocyte mediated immunity| |cellular response to DNA damage stimulus| |symbiotic process| |interspecies interaction between organisms| |organophosphate metabolic process| |negative regulation of apoptotic process| |negative regulation of programmed cell death| |leukocyte activation| |negative regulation of cell death| |carbohydrate derivative metabolic process| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |cell activation| |immune effector process| |nucleobase-containing compound biosynthetic process| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |mitochondrion| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |regulation of apoptotic process| |regulation of programmed cell death| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |regulation of cell death| |cellular response to stress| |small molecule metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| |immune response| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp535|Trimetrexate 0.03μM R08 exp535]]|-4.59| |[[:results:exp1|5-Fluorouracil 2μM R00 exp1]]|-2.26| |[[:results:exp218|A-395 10μM R05 exp218]]|1.7| |[[:results:exp426|FBS-Wisent 0.1 R07 exp426]]|1.72| |[[:results:exp527|Tanespimycin 14μM R08 exp527]]|1.83| |[[:results:exp440|Aphidicolin 0.4μM R08 exp440]]|1.85| |[[:results:exp489|Hippuristanol 0.12μM R08 exp489 no dilution day6]]|2.02| |[[:results:exp441|GSK-J4 1.5μM R08 exp441]]|2.1| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
