methyl 5-formyl-2-furoate (CAS 5904-71-2)
QUICK LINKS
Methyl 5-formyl-2-furoate is involved in the process of DNA repair. It acts as a substrate for the enzyme formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg), which is responsible for recognizing and removing damaged bases from DNA. Methyl 5-formyl-2-furoate is recognized by Fpg as a lesion resulting from oxidative damage to DNA. Upon recognition, Fpg cleaves the glycosidic bond between the damaged base and the sugar-phosphate backbone, initiating the base excision repair pathway. The ability of Fpg to recognize and process methyl 5-formyl-2-furoate highlights its importance in the cellular response to oxidative stress. Methyl 5-formyl-2-furoate contributes to the maintenance of genomic stability and the preservation of genetic information.
