TREX2

three prime repair exonuclease 2

On chromosome: Xq28

NCBI Gene ID: 11219
NCBI Ensembl Id: ENSG00000183479
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database) 300370
Species: Homo sapiens

This gene encodes a protein with 3' exonuclease activity. Enzymes with this activity are involved in DNA replication, repair, and recombination. Similarity to an E. coli protein suggests that this enzyme may be a subunit of DNA polymerase III, which does not have intrinsic exonuclease activity. [provided by RefSeq]
