NUDT15 (MTH2) catalyzes the reaction of 8-oxo-dGTP and water to form 8-oxo-dGMP and PPi (pyrophosphate). Cai et al. (2003) first identified this activity in studies of the homologous mouse protein; the activity of the human NUDT15 protein has since been confirmed experimentally (Takagi et al. 2012).
