Facts about Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 4.
Mismatch-specific DNA N-glycosylase involved in DNA repair.
Has thymine glycosylase activity and is unique for G:T mismatches within methylated and unmethylated CpG websites.Can also remove uracil or 5-fluorouracil in G:U mismatches. Has no lyase activity.
