Function |
Exonuclease with activity against single- and double- stranded DNA and RNA. Mediates p53-induced apoptosis. When induced by p53 following DNA damage, digests double-stranded DNA to form single-stranded DNA and amplifies DNA damage signals, leading to enhancement of apoptosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16171785, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18264133}.

Subcellular Location |
Nucleus. Nucleus, nucleolus. Note=Localized predomintly in the nucleolus. Translocates from the nucleolus to the nucleoplasm upon apoptosis induction.
