Apex1 - apurinic/apyrimidinic endodeoxyribonuclease 1 Gene

Also Known as APE; Apex; REF-1

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 79116

Summary

Enables NF-kappaB binding activity and endoribonuclease activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to organonitrogen compound; negative regulation of smooth muscle cell migration; and positive regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle. Located in mitochondrion and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Biomarker of brain ischemia; lung disease; status epilepticus; and visual epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; female reproductive organ Cancer (multiple); spina bifida; and urinary bladder Cancer. Orthologous to human APEX1 (apurinic/apyrimidinic endodeoxyribonuclease 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
