DNA oxidative demethylase

DNA oxidative demethylase (, "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)". This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
DNA oxidative demethylase contains iron; activity is somewhat stimulated by ascorbate.
