Reaction: Oxidative dealkylation of 1-etA damaged DNA By ALKBH2
- in pathway: ALKBH2 mediated reversal of alkylation damage
ALKBH2 catalyzes removal of the ethyl group from 1-ethyladenine (1-etA) in a reaction that depends on oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate and Fe2+. ALKBH2 thus directly reverses alkylation damage of DNA in the form of 1-etA, releasing acetaldehyde (Duncan et al. 2002).
