Proper DNA and RNA metabolism requires nucleases which function in DNA replication, recombination and repair, as well as in RNA processing and degradation events. REXO2 (RNA exonuclease 2), also called RFN or SFN, is the human homolog of the E. coli exoribonuclease Orn. Functioning as a 3’-to-5’ exoribonuclease, REXO2 degrades single-stranded RNA or DNA and, based on its similarity with Orn, may be involved in cellular responses to DNA-damaging agents. Additionally, REXO2 is implicated in cellular nucleotide recycling and can use manganese as a cofactor. Two isoforms of REXO2 exist due to alternative splicing events. Isoform 1 is localized to the mitochondria, while isoform 2 is localized to the nucleus.
