Abstract excerpt
Alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG) is a critical enzyme in the base excision repair (BER) pathway that safeguards genome integrity by removing structurally diverse alkylated and deaminated purine lesions from DNA. It serves as a primary defense against alkylation-induced mutations, which are linked to cancer development, chronic inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in...
