Based on studies in Xenopus, NEIL3 is able to resolve abasic site-induced interstrand crosslinks (AP-ICLs), that form when an aldehyde group of the AP site reacts with the amine of a nucleic acid base, usually adenine, on the opposite strand. NEIL3-mediated unhooking of AP-ICLs is independent of the Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway (Semlow et al. 2016).
