NUDT1 (MTH1) catalyzes the reaction of 2-hydroxy-dATP and water to form 2-hydroxy-dAMP and PPi (pyrophosphate). Four NUDT1 proteins have been identified, encoded by a single gene with alternative start codons (Oda et al. 1999). The shortest of these, NUDT1 p18, has been shown to catalyze hydrolysis of 2-hydroxy-dATP (Fujikawa et al. 1993; Sakai et al. 2002). The active enzyme is a monomer associated with a magnesium ion (Mishima et al. 2004). The longer isoforms all consist of the p18 polypeptide with aminoterminal extensions and are presumed to be active as well but have not been experimentally characterized. The p18 isoform is predominantly cytosolic (Kang et al. 1995). Its expression prevents the accumulation of modified adenosine bases in DNA in mutant mouse cells lacking endogenous NUDT1 activity (Yoshimura et al. 2003).

Together, these data support the hypothesis that by cleaving 2-hydroxy-dATP and thus preventing its incorporation into DNA, NUDT1 provides a physiologically important defense against mutagenesis due to oxidative stress. This hypothesis is further supported by the demonstration that mice lacking NUDT1 show an increased lifetime incidence of liver and other tumors compared to normal controls, and that rapidly metabolizing tumor cells in culture are killed under conditions where synthesis of NUDT1 protein is suppressed or its catalytic activity is inhibited (Gad et al. 2014; Huber et al. 2014).
