G/U mismatch-specific uracil-DNA glycosylase activity
id: GO:0043739
name: G/U mismatch-specific uracil-DNA glycosylase activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: Catalysis of the removal of uracil from a U*G mispair by the cleavage the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar. The reaction releases a free uracil and leaves an apyrimidinic (AP) site.
