Gene information for DNASE2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1777
Official gene symbolDNASE2
Full namedeoxyribonuclease II, lysosomal
Aliases,DNASE2A,DNL,DNL2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the DNase family. The protein, located in the lysosome, hydrolyzes DNA under acidic conditions and mediates the breakdown of DNA during erythropoiesis and apoptosis. Two codominant alleles have been characterized, DNASE2*L (low activity) and DNASE2*H (high activity), that differ at one nucleotide in the promoter region. The DNASE2*H allele is represented in this record. [provided by RefSeq]
