Target/Specificity | This REXO2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 129-157 amino acids from the Central region of human REXO2. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | REXO2 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |

Synonyms | SFN, SMFN |
Function | 3'-to-5'exoribonuclease that preferentially degrades DNA and RNA oligonucleotides composed of only two nucleotides (PubMed:23741365, PubMed:30926754, PubMed:31588022, PubMed:32365187). Binds and degrades longer oligonucleotides with a lower affinity (PubMed:30926754, PubMed:31588022, PubMed:32365187). Plays dual roles in mitochondria, scavenging nanoRNAs (small RNA oligonucleotides of <5 nucleotides) that are produced by the degradosome and clearing short RNAs that are generated by RNA processing (PubMed:30926754, PubMed:31588022, PubMed:32365187). Essential for correct initiation of mitochondrial transcription, degrading mitochondrial RNA dinucleotides to prevent RNA-primed transcription at non-canonical sites in the mitochondrial genome (PubMed:31588022). Essential for embryonic development (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion intermembrane space. Mitochondrion matrix. Mitochondrion. Cytoplasm. Nucleus |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in the heart and at lower levels in the lymph nodes, brain, lung, liver, spleen and thymus |

Background
Nucleases are components of DNA and RNA metabolism that carry out functions in DNA repair, replication, and recombination and in RNA processing and degradation. SFN is a homolog of Orn, a 3-prime-to-5-prime exoribonuclease of E. coli that attacks the free 3-prime hydroxyl group on single-stranded RNA, releasing 5-prime mononucleotides in a sequential manner.
