Mismatch-specific DNA N-glycosylase involved in DNA repair. Has thymine glycosylase activity and is specific for G:T mismatches within methylated and unmethylated CpG sites. Can also remove uracil or 5-fluorouracil in G:U mismatches. Has no lyase activity. Was first identified as methyl-CpG-binding protein.

Transcriptional regulator that binds CpG, CpNpN and CpNpG (N is A, T, or C) islands in promoters regardless the DNA methylation status. Plays probably a role in gene silencing.
