APEX1 Full-Length ORF: Human Gene Retrovirus

Gene ID: 328

Synonym(s): APE, APE1, APEN, APEX, APX, HAP1, REF1

Description: 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 damaging agents or by DNA glycosylases that remove specific abnormal bases. The AP sites are the most frequent pre-mutagenic lesions that can prevent normal DNA replication. Splice variants have been found for this gene; all encode the same protein. Disruptions in the biological functions related to APEX are associated with many various malignancies and neurodegenerative diseases.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2019].

There are several cDNA ORF sequences of this gene in the NCBI database that are of the same length as this clone; however, the amino acid sequences are not completely identical.
