Human APE (also known as Ref-1) is the apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease required for efficient DNA base excision repair (BER). Following the removal of a damaged base by a DNA glycosylase, APE cleaves the AP site to allow resynthesis and ligation to complete repair. In addition, APE/Ref-1 acts as a factor that regulates the redox state of multiple transcription factors, including c-Jun, c-Fos, NF‑ kappaB, and p53.
