- Isolated from a recombinant source
- Supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer
Description: hOGG1 (α isoform) is an 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase which acts both as a N-glycosylase and an AP-lyase. The N-glycosylase activity releases damaged purines from double stranded DNA, generating an apurinic (AP) site. The AP-lyase activity cleaves 3´ to the AP site leaving a 5´ phosphate and a 3´-phospho-α, β-unsaturated aldehyde.
Some of the damaged bases recognized and removed by hOGG1 include 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoguanine) when base paired with cytosine, 8-oxoadenine when base paired with cytosine, foramidopyrimidine (fapy)-guanine and methy-fapy-guanine (1,2).
Source: An E. coli strain that carries the cloned human ogg1 gene (3).
Applications:- Single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet assay) (4,5,6)
- Alkaline elution (7)
- Alkaline unwinding (8)
Reagents Supplied: NEBuffer 2 (10X)
BSA (100X)

Quality Control for Current Lot

 Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.
16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of λDNA (HindIII digest)
and 16 units of hOGG1 incubated for 16 hours at 37ºC
resulted in a DNA pattern free of detectable nuclease degradation as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Exonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 8 units of hOGG1 with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded
[3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37ºC
released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.
Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 8 units of hOGG1 with 1 μg of
ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted
in < 5% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
