DNA repair enzyme that incises DNA at 8-oxoG residues. Excises 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-N-methylformamidopyrimidine (FAPY) from damaged DNA. Has a beta-lyase activity that nicks DNA 3' to the lesion. 2'-deoxyribonucleotide-(2'-deoxyribose 5'-phosphate)-2'-deoxyribonucleotide-DNA = a 3'-end 2'-deoxyribonucleotide-(2,3-dehydro-2,3-deoxyribose 5'-phosphate)-DNA + a 5'-end 5'-monophospho-2'-deoxyribonucleoside-DNA + H(+) Together with APEX1 is recruited to nuclear speckles in UVA-irradiated cells. Ubiquitous. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Belongs to the type-1 OGG1 family. Truncated N-terminus.
