It recognises an 18-base pair sequence TAGGGATAACAGGGTAAT and leaves a 4 base pair 3' hydroxyl overhang.
Statistically an 18-bp sequence will occur once in every 6.9*1010 base pairs (a frequency of 1 in 418).
This sequence does not normally occur in a human or mouse genome.
It is present in the mitochondria of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
