Facts about Aprataxin.
Catalyzes the launch of adenylate groups covalently linked to 5'-phosphate termini, leading to the production of 5'-phosphate termini which can be efficiently rejoined (PubMed:16964241, PubMed:17276982, PubMed:24362567). Also able to hydrolyze adenosine 5'- monophosphoramidate (AMP-NH(2)) and diadenosine tetraphosphate (AppppA), but with reduced catalytic activity (PubMed:16547001).

Widely expressed; detected in liver, kidney and lymph node (at protein level) (PubMed:14755728). Isoform 1 is highly expressed in the cerebral cortex and cerebellum, compared to isoform 2 (at protein level) (PubMed:14755728). Widely expressed; detected throughout the brain, in liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, fibroblasts, lymphocytes and pancreas (PubMed:15276230, PubMed:11586299, PubMed:11586300).
Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Nucleus, nucleolus. Upon genotoxic stress, colocalizes with XRCC1 at sites of DNA damage (PubMed:15380105). Colocalizes with MDC1 at sites of DNA double-strand breaks (PubMed:20008512). Interaction with NCL is required for nucleolar localization (PubMed:16777843).; [Isoform 12]: Cytoplasm.
