mutM

Unnamed Gene ID: 946765

Known also as: ECK3625; fpg; JW3610;


NCBI Gene ID: 946765
Species: Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655

MutM (also known as Fpg) is a DNA glycosylase that works in the base excision repair (BER) pathway to repair certain types of pre-mutagenic lesions. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10329].
