Entrez ID 328
Gene name Apurinic/apyrimidinic endodeoxyribonuclease 1
Gene symbol APEX1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
APEAPE1APENAPEXAPXHAP1REF1
Chromosome 14
Chromosome location 14q11.2
Summary The APEX gene encodes the major AP endonuclease in human cells. It encodes the APEX endonuclease, a DNA repair enzyme with apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) activity. Such AP activity sites occur frequently in DNA molecules by spontaneous hydrolysis, by DNA dama
