Used in research to study DNA repair mechanisms, particularly in the base excision repair pathway. Helps investigate the role of OGG1 in oxidative DNA damage and its implications in diseases like cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and aging. Shows potential for developing therapies targeting oxidative stress-related conditions by modulating OGG1 activity. Also employed in cellular and molecular studies to assess the effects of inhibiting 8-oxoguanine removal from DNA.
