Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 27301
Gene name Apurinic/apyrimidinic endodeoxyribonuclease 2
Gene symbol APEX2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
APE2APEXL2XTH2ZGRF2
Chromosome X
Chromosome location Xp11.21
Summary Apurinic/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
