Glycosylase is an enzyme. Its main function is in Base Excision Repair(BER). Base Excision Repair is a DNA repair mechanism that fixes the most common type of DNA damage. BER corrects DNA damage that occurs from oxidation and methylation. BER removes and repairs damaged bases usually these are single-stranded DNA breaks. It also corrects DNA damage that results from small leisures that do not disrupt the double helix<ref>PMID:25252105</ref>. | Glycosylase is an enzyme.
