Scientific Background

APEX2, also called apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease like-2, is a member of the apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) family of endonucleases that initiate the repair of AP sites formed by spontaneous hydrolysis of the N-glycosylic bond, mutagen-induced base release, or damaged-base excision by a DNA repair glycosylase. RT-PCR detected APEX2 expression in HeLa cells, Jurkat cells, and human kidney, brain and fetal brain tissue.The APEX2 gene contains 6 exons. The APEX2 gene is mapped to chromosome Xp11.21. APEX2 participates in both nuclear and mitochondrial base excision repair (BER). APEX2 displayed weaker AP site-specific and 3-prime nuclease activities compared to APEX1. APEX2 plays a role in processing 3-prime-damaged termini or 3-prime-mismatched nucleotides.
