alkA

Unnamed Gene ID: 947371

Known also as: aidA; ECK2062; JW2053;


NCBI Gene ID: 947371
Species: Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655

The alk gene product is known as 3-methyladenine-DNA glycosylase II and is induced by exposure to alkylating agents as part of the cell's adaptive response to damage caused by alkylation. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG11222].
