Gene ID: 200558, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: APFL; PALF; Xip1; ZCCHH1; C2orf13

Summary

Enables DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity; nuclease activity; and nucleotide binding activity. Involved in double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining and single strand break repair. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA ligation. Located in nucleoplasm.
