Gene:
three prime repair exonuclease 2
Gene ID:
194748
Symbol:
TREX2
Species:
1000
Description:
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 protien suggests that this enzyme may be a subunit of DNA polymerase III, which does not have intrinsic exonuclease activity.
