Gene information for APEX1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID328
Official gene symbolAPEX1
Full nameAPEX nuclease (multifunctional DNA repair enzyme) 1
Aliases,APE,APE1,APEN,APEX,APX,HAP1,REF1,
Gene summaryApurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites occur frequently in DNA molecules by spontaneous hydrolysis, by DNA damaging agents or by DNA glycosylases that remove specific abnormal bases. AP sites are pre-mutagenic lesions that can prevent normal DNA replication so the cell contains systems to identify and repair such sites. Class II AP endonucleases cleave the phosphodiester backbone 5' to the AP site. This gene encodes the major AP endonuclease in human cells. Splice variants have been found for this gene; all encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq]
