| General protein information |
|
| Gene Type | protein-coding |
| Organism | Homo sapiens(Human) |
| Genome | |
| Summary | The protein encoded by this gene is a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-specific exonuclease that can slide along the DNA before cutting it. However, human replication protein A binds ssDNA and restricts sliding of the encoded protein, providing a 5'-directionality to the enzyme. This protein localizes to nuclear repair loci after DNA damage. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]. |
