GenAge entry for APEX1 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 195)

HGNC symbol
APEX1 
Aliases
APE; REF1; HAP1; APX; APEN; REF-1; APE-1; APEX 
Common name
APEX nuclease (multifunctional DNA repair enzyme) 1 

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to a pathway or mechanism linked to ageing
Description

APEX1 repairs oxidative DNA damage. Disruption of APEX1 in mice results in embryonic lethality [854]. Heterozygous mice had an elevated spontaneous mutation frequency [1732]. Whether APEX1 is involved in human ageing remains to be established.
