Journal of bacteriology, 1996•Am Soc MicrobiolWe have cloned the human mutY gene (hMYH) from both genomic and cDNA libraries. The
human gene contains 15 introns and is 7.1 kb long. The 16 exons encode a protein of 535
amino acids that displays 41% identity to the Escherichia coli protein, which provides an
important function in the repair of oxidative damage to DNA and helps to prevent mutations
from oxidative lesions. The human mutY gene maps on the short arm of chromosome 1,
between p32. 1 and p34. 3.
