We 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.
