Description
3-methyl-adenine DNA glycosylase; involved in protecting DNA against alkylating agents; initiates base excision repair by removing damaged bases to create abasic sites that are subsequently repaired; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress [Source:SGD;Acc:S000000944]
