REXO2, Official Symbol REXO2provided by HGNC Official Full Name RNA exonuclease 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:17851 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000076043 MIM:607149; AllianceGenome:HGNC:17851 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as RFN; SFN; REX2; CGI-114 Summary This gene encodes a 3'-to-5' exonuclease specific for small (primarily 5 nucleotides or less in length) single-stranded RNA and DNA oligomers. This protein may have a role in DNA repair, replication, and recombination, and in RNA processing and degradation. It may also be involved in resistance of human cells to UV-C-induced cell death through its role in the DNA repair process.
