INTRODUCTION
APEX1 is in charge of the incision of DNA basic sites during base excision repair. APEX1 also stimulates the DNA binding activity of numerous transcription factors which take part in cancer promotion and progression. APEX1 is part of the cellular response to oxidative stress and protects cells from the genotoxic and cytotoxic effect of oxidizing agents.
DESCRIPTION
APEX1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 332 amino acids (1-318a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 36.9kDa.
APEX1 protein is fused to a 14 amino acid T7-tag at N-terminus and is purified by standard chromatography.
