Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable 3'-5' exonuclease activity; metal ion binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA double-strand break processing; double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and replication fork processing. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair. Predicted to be located in intermediate filament cytoskeleton; mitochondrial outer membrane; and site of DNA damage. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; ganglia; and neural retina. Orthologous to human EXD2 (exonuclease 3'-5' domain containing 2).
