Summary: This gene encodes a nuclear protein with 3' exonuclease activity. The encoded protein may play a role in DNA repair and serve as a proofreading function for DNA polymerase. Mutations in this gene result in Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome, chilblain lupus, Cree encephalitis, and other diseases of the immune system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2012]
Annotation information: Note: GeneID 11277 was annotated as a single gene with two non-overlapping coding regions. GeneID 11277 now represents only the downstream coding region encoding three prime repair exonuclease 1. The upstream coding region is represented by geneID 84126. [29 May 2007]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in spleen (RPKM 9.5), lymph node (RPKM 7.7) and 25 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
