DNA oxidative demethylase

DNA oxidative demethylase (EC 1.14.11.33, alkylated DNA repair protein, alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase ABH1, alkB (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name methyl DNA-base, 2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (formaldehyde-forming).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

DNA-base-CH3 + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 DNA-base + formaldehyde + succinate + CO2
