Xrn2 5'-3' exoribonuclease 2 [ Mus musculus (house mouse) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 24128)
Symbol: Xrn2
Full name: 5'-3' exoribonuclease 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Summary: Predicted to enable exoribonuclease activity, producing 5'-phosphomonoesters; identical protein binding activity; and nucleic acid binding activity. Involved in RNA metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in aggresome; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adenoid cystic carcinoma and lung cancer. Orthologous to human XRN2 (5'-3' exoribonuclease 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
