Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 58511
Gene name Deoxyribonuclease 2 beta
Gene symbol DNASE2B
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DLAD
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p31.1-p22.3
Summary The protein encoded by this gene shares considerable sequence similarity to, and is structurally related to DNase II. The latter is a well characterized endonuclease that catalyzes DNA hydrolysis in the absence of divalent cations at acidic pH. Unlike DNa
