General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Gene namei
Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.
Assigned HPA protein class(es) for the encoded protein(s).
Enzymes
Predicted locationi
All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions.
Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached.
Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s).
The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.
Gene information from Ensembl and Entrez, as well as links to available gene identifiers are displayed here. Information was retrieved from Ensembl if not indicated otherwise.

Useful information about the protein provided by UniProt.
Lysosomal 5'->3' exonuclease that functions in nucleic-acid sensing by immune cells. Hydrolyzes phosphodiester bond in single-stranded RNA and DNA molecules, with a higher efficiency for molecules with 5' uridine and guanosine residues. It can stall at certain sites and does not necessarily proceed to complete exonucleolytic degradation, thereby producing nucleoside 3'-monophosphates but also 5'-end 5'-hydroxy deoxyribonucleotide/ribonucleotide fragments 1,2,3,4,5. Through the processing of self and exogenous RNA and DNA molecules, provides molecular signals to toll-like receptors (TLRs) in innate immunity. Partially redundant with PLD3, it cooperates with the RNase T2/RNASET2 to generate 2',3'-cGMP and cytidine-rich RNA fragments that occupy the two TLR7 ligand-binding pockets, to trigger receptor activation and signaling 6. Can exert polynucleotide phosphatase activity toward 5'-phosphorylated single-stranded DNA substrates although at a slow rate 7. Could play a role in phagocytosis of activated microglia (By similarity)....show less
Molecular function (UniProt)i
Keywords assigned by UniProt to proteins due to their particular molecular function.
Exonuclease, Hydrolase, Nuclease, Transferase
Biological process (UniProt)i
Keywords assigned by UniProt to proteins because they are involved in a particular biological process.
Predicted to enable single-stranded DNA 5'-3' exodeoxyribonuclease activity. Predicted to be involved in hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; phagocytosis; and regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in early endosome and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum; phagocytic vesicle; and trans-Golgi network membrane.

PROTEIN INFORMATIONi
The protein information section displays alternative protein-coding transcripts (splice variants) encoded by this gene according to the Ensembl database.
The Splice variant identifier links to the Ensembl website protein summary for the selected splice variant. The data in the Swissprot and TrEMBL columns links to corresponding pages in the UniProt database.
The protein classes assigned to this protein are shown if expanding the data in the protein class column. Parent protein classes are in bold font and subclasses are listed under the parent class.
The length of the protein (amino acid residues according to Ensembl), molecular mass (kDalton), predicted signal peptide and number of predicted transmembrane region(s) according to in-house majority decision methods based on sets of predictors are also reported.
