single-strand selective uracil DNA N-glycosylase activity

id: GO:0017065
name: single-strand selective uracil DNA N-glycosylase activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Catalysis of the cleavage of the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar, releasing a free base and leaving an apyrimidinic (AP) site. Enzymes with this activity recognize and remove uracil bases present in single-stranded DNA.
