Human Gene TREX2 (ENST00000370231.3) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens three prime repair exonuclease 2 (TREX2), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_080701)
RefSeq Summary (NM_080701): This gene encodes a nuclear protein with 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. The encoded protein participates in double-stranded DNA break repair, and may interact with DNA polymerase delta. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012].

  ID: TREX2_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Three prime repair exonuclease 2; EC=3.1.11.2; AltName: Full=3'-5' exonuclease TREX2;
FUNCTION: Exonuclease with a preference for double stranded DNA with mismatched 3' termini. May play a role in DNA repair.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Exonucleolytic cleavage in the 3'- to 5'- direction to yield nucleoside 5'-phosphates.
COFACTOR: Magnesium. Required for activity. Substitution with Mn(2+) results in partial activity.
BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES: pH dependence: Optimum pH is 7.5-8.0;
SUBUNIT: Homodimer.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (Probable).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in heart, breast, prostate, skeletal muscle, testis, uterus, bone marrow, colon, small intestine, stomach and thymus.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the exonuclease superfamily. TREX family.
CAUTION: The gene for this protein is either identical to or adjacent to that of UCHL5IP. Most mRNAs that encode UCHL5IP also include the N-terminal part of TREX2.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
