Abstract excerpt
Oxidative DNA damage, in particular 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), has been suggested to mediate mutation formation and malignant transformation after exposure of the skin to long-wave ultraviolet (UVA) light. It is processed primarily by the base excision repair (BER) pathway. The initial step of BER is the removal of the damaged base by a damage-specific DNA-glycosylase, which is 8-oxoG DNA glycosylase...
