Background
The enzyme is known to be a redox factor (Ref-1) stimulating DNA binding activity of AP-1 binding proteins such as Fos and Jun as well as a multifunctional DNA repair enzyme having 5' AP endonuclease; DNA 3' repair diesterase; 3'-5' exonuclease and DNA 3'-phosphatase activities. Although Apex mRNA was expressed ubiquitously; the levels varied significantly; suggesting organ- or tissue-specific expression of the Apex gene. The highest level was observed in the testis; relatively high levels in the thymus; spleen; kidney and brain; and the lowest level in the liver in rats. However; the present results suggested that APEX/Ref-1 gene product can interact with AP-1 binding proteins in brain; especially in the hippocampal formation; to regulate some brain functions by redox-activation.
