The presence of nuclear and mitochondrial uracil-DNA glycosylase in extracts of human KB cells

Nucleic Acids Res. 1980 Feb 25;8(4):875-88.

Abstract

Extracts of human KB cells contain detectable uracil-DNA glycosylase activity. The majority of the activity is located within the nuclear fraction, however we present evidence for the presence of identifiable uracil-DNA glycosylase activity associated with the mitochondrial fraction of these cells.
