REXO2 Proteins and Enzymes

REXO2, also known as Oligoribonuclease, mitochondrial, is a 27kDa 237 amino acid protein with a shorter 23kDa 199 isoform. This gene plays a significant role in reparing DNA and is believed to play a role in aiding cells resist UV-C-induced death. REXO2 has been studied in relation to t-cell leukemia, leukemia, tuberculosis and mycobacterium tuberculosis. REXO2 is linked to the ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes pathway where it interacts with ATG5, MPG, DIS3, UBC and EXOSC10.
