NEI3
NEIL3 belongs to a class of DNA glycosylases homologous to the bacterial Fpg/Nei family. These glycosylases initiate the first step in base excision repair by cleaving bases damaged by reactive oxygen species and introducing a DNA strand break via the associated lyase reaction (Bandaru et al., 2002 [PubMed 12509226]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
Forensic Context
A study in humans identified 736 differentially expressed circRNAs in peripheral blood from ischemic stroke patients, with the NEIL3 being up-regulated and validated by qRT-PCR [Wei et al. DOI:10.1186/s12883-021-02397-0].
