Biochem/physiol Actions

Mitochondrial genome maintenance exonuclease 1 (MGME1) acts as a mitochondrial DNA nuclease and has an ability to cleave DNA with a free end. Loss or mutation in the gene leads to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion, deletions, duplications and rearrangements and is also associated with mitochondrial diseases. The encoded protein is also involved in intramolecular recombination of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and in 7S DNA turnover.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

General description

Mitochondrial genome maintenance exonuclease 1 (MGME1) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 20p11.23. The encoded protein is a member of PD-(D/E) XK nuclease superfamily. MGME1 is a homologue of the bacterial RecB nuclease involved in DNA recombination.
