Ogg1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables damaged DNA binding activity and oxidized purine nucleobase lesion DNA N-glycosylase activity. Involved in several processes, including base-excision repair; cellular response to cadmium ion; and response to estradiol. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion; nuclear matrix; and nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Biomarker of hepatitis; middle cerebral artery infarction; renal cell carcinoma; status epilepticus; and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Graves' disease; artery disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); eye disease (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human OGG1 (8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Ogg1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
