Abstract excerpt
The enzyme, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydrodeoxyguanosine triphosphatase (8-oxo-dGTPase), is present in various organisms and plays an important role in control of spontaneous mutagenesis. This enzyme degrades 8-oxoguanine-containing deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate, a potentially mutagenic substrate for DNA synthesis, to the corresponding monophosphate. To obtain appropriate probes for expression of the gene in various...
