Title: Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 regulates palmitic acid-mediated apoptosis in cardiomyocytes via endoplasmic reticulum stress.
Our findings provide an insight into the PTEN and APE1 overexpression protects against cardiac hypoxia/reoxygenation injury, which may be through inducing the PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy.

Study shows that genetically enhancing apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease expression or treatment with the small molecule, E3330, increases DNA repair.
Title: DNA damage mediates changes in neuronal sensitivity induced by the inflammatory mediators, MCP-1 and LPS, and can be reversed by enhancing the DNA repair function of APE1.
Our findings provided valuable insights into the redox function of APE1/Ref-1 in preventing Pi-induced VSMC calcification by inhibiting oxidative stress and osteoblastic differentiation, resulting in prevention of altered osteoblastic phenotypes in VSMCs.
Title: APE1/Ref-1 Inhibits Phosphate-Induced Calcification and Osteoblastic Phenotype Changes in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells.
The results of this study suggest that Ape1 protects against neuron death by activating the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

In summary, APE1 is regulated at different levels after acute and chronic UUO. Thus, our results suggest that DNA repair activity is regulated in response to progressive (7 days) obstruction and that APE1 potentially could play a role in the development of fibrosis in kidney disease.
Title: Unilateral ureteral obstruction induces DNA repair by APE1.
Ape1 expression was initially high and then gradually reduced along with the tooth development.

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.
