Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites occur frequently in DNA molecules by spontaneous hydrolysis, by DNA damaging agents or by DNA glycosylases that remove specific abnormal bases. AP sites are pre-mutagenic lesions that can prevent normal DNA replication so the cell contains systems to identify and repair such sites. Class II AP endonucleases cleave the phosphodiester backbone 5' to the AP site. This gene encodes the major AP endonuclease in human cells. Splice variants have been found for this gene; all encode the same protein

Description
Specificity: APE1 antibody detects endogenous levels of APE1protein. Not tested with other proteinsRelevance: Apurinic / apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE1 or REF1) is responsible for the incision of DNA basic sites during base excision repair. It has also been shown to stimulate the DNA binding activity of numerous transcription factors that are involved in cancer promotion and progression. Alterations in APE1 levels have been described in some cancers. APE1 is part of the cellular response to oxidative stress and protects cells from the genotoxic and cytotoxic effect of oxidizing agents.
