NCIt definition : Oxidized purine nucleoside triphosphate hydrolase (197 aa, 23 kDa) is encoded by
the human NUDT1 gene. This protein is involved in the metabolism of both dGTP and
DNA.;
NCIt note : 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine triphosphatase catalyzes the hydrolysis of 8-oxo-dGTP to
yield 8-oxo-dGMP and diphosphate. Misincorporation of 8-oxo-dGTP into DNA can result
in A:T to C:G transversion mutations.;
