MeSH definition : A dioxygenase and alkylation repair homolog that functions by oxidative demethylation
in RNA and DNA REPAIR of substrates which contain 3-methylcytosine. It also functions
as one of the HISTONE DEMETHYLASES involved in embryonic development and maintaining
the pluripotency of EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS.;
MeSH synonym : Alkylated DNA Repair Protein AlkB Homolog 1; DNA Lyase ABH1; ABH1, DNA Lyase; ALKBH Protein; DNA Oxidative Demethylase ALKBH1; Alpha-Ketoglutarate-Dependent Dioxygenase ABH1; ABH1, Alpha-Ketoglutarate-Dependent Dioxygenase; Alpha Ketoglutarate Dependent Dioxygenase ABH1;
Registry Number MeSH : EC 1.14.11.33;
