SMUG1 also known as Single-strand-selective Monofunctional Uracil-DNA Glycosylase 1 plays a role in DNA repair mechanisms. It is an enzyme involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway specializing in the removal of uracil from single-stranded DNA. SMUG1 has a molecular weight of about 33 kDa. The protein is expressed in various tissues with notable presence in the brain liver and lung. Its expression levels adjust according to the tissue's need for active DNA repair./ Biological function summary/ The process of DNA metabolism relies heavily on mechanisms related to the SMUG1 enzyme. As part of the DNA repair machinery it identifies and excises uracil bases from DNA which result from deamination of cytosine or misincorporation during DNA synthesis. SMUG1 does not function within a larger protein complex but interacts dynamically with other repair proteins like AP endonucleases. This activity helps maintain genomic stability by preventing mutations that could arise from uracil incorporation.
