DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) lyase 2

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 is mapped to chromosome Xp11.21. APEX2 participates in both nuclear and mitochondrial base excision repair (BER) and it can play a role in processing 3-prime-damaged termini or 3-prime-mismatched nucleotides. Additionally, APEX2 displayed weaker AP site-specific and 3-prime nuclease activities compared to APEX1.

Each vial contains 4mg Trehalose, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg NaN3.

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function as a weak apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endodeoxyribonuclease in the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway of DNA lesions induced by oxidative and alkylating agents. Initiates repair of AP sites in DNA by catalyzing hydrolytic incision of the phosphodiester backbone immediately adjacent to the damage, generating a single-strand break with 5'-deoxyribose phosphate and 3'-hydroxyl ends. Displays also double-stranded DNA 3'-5' exonuclease, 3'-phosphodiesterase activities. Shows robust 3'-5' exonuclease activity on 3'-recessed heteroduplex DNA and is able to remove mismatched nucleotides preferentially. Shows fairly strong 3'-phosphodiesterase activity involved in the removal of 3'-damaged termini formed in DNA by oxidative agents. In the nucleus functions in the PCNA-dependent BER pathway. Required for somatic hypermutation (SHM) and DNA cleavage step of class switch recombination (CSR) of immunoglobulin genes. Required for proper cell cycle progression during proliferation of peripheral lymphocytes.
