Anti-APTX Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a member of the histidine triad (HIT) superfamily. The encoded protein may play a role in single-stranded DNA repair through its nucleotide-binding activity and its diadenosine polyphosphate hydrolase activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ataxia-ocular apraxia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene.

E.coli-derived human APTX recombinant protein (Position: E46-Q356) . Human APTXshares 84.8% and 80.9% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat APTX, respectively.
