Reaction: 8-oxoguanine + H2O = urate + NH3
Glossary: 8-oxoguanine = 2-amino-7,9-dihydro-1H-purine-6,8-dione
Other name(s): 8-OGD
Systematic name: 8-oxoguanine aminohydrolase
Comments: Zn2+ is bound in the active site. 8-Oxoguanine is formed via the oxidation of guanine within DNA by reactive oxygen species. If uncorrected, this modification leads to the incorporation of 8-oxoG:A mismatches and eventually to G:C to T:A transversions.
