Abstract
5-Formyluracil is a major oxidation product of thymine, formed in DNA in yields comparable to that of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine by exposure to gamma-irradiation. Whereas the repair pathways for removal and the biological effects of persisting 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine are much elucidated, much less attention has been paid to the cellular implications of 5-formyluracil in DNA. Here we review the present state of knowledge in this important area within research on oxidative DNA damage.Entities:
