Description (eCommerce)
Uracil-DNA glycosylase functions as an enzyme that excises uracil residues from DNA. Uracil residues in DNA can arise as a result of misincorporation of dUMP residues by DNA polymerase or from the deamination of cytosine. Defects in UNG are a cause of immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM type 5 syndrome (HIGM5) [taken from the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ P13051].
Description (Vector)
UNG encodes one of several uracil-DNA glycosylases. One important function of uracil-DNA glycosylases is to prevent mutagenesis by eliminating uracil from DNA molecules by cleaving the N-glycosylic bond and initiating the base-excision repair (BER) pathway. Uracil bases occur from cytosine deamination or misincorporation of dUMP residues. Alternative promoter usage and splicing of this gene leads to two different isoforms: the mitochondrial UNG1 and the nuclear UNG2. The UNG2 term was used as a previous symbol for the CCNO gene (GeneID 10309), which has been confused with this gene, in the literature and some databases.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
