mutY

Unnamed Gene ID: 947447

Known also as: ECK2956; JW2928; micA; mutB;


NCBI Gene ID: 947447
Species: Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655

MutY serves as an adenine glycosylase mismatch repair enzyme in Escherichia coli which works to correct G-A mispairs to G-C base pairs. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10627].
