Sex and Alkyladenine DNA Glycosylase Expression are Key Susceptibility Factors for NDMA-induced Mutations, Toxicity, and Cancer
2025-05-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> N -Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is present in food, water, and drugs and is considered a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The mechanism of action of NDMA involves the generation of carcinogenic methyl lesions such as 3-methyladenine (3MeA) on DNA bases. Alkyladenine DNA Glycosylase (AAG) removes 3MeA to initiate Base Excision Repair, leaving an interme...
