ERI1

Chr 8AR

exoribonuclease 1

Also known as: 3'HEXO, HEXO, HXAL, SEMDGC, SEMDGS, THEX1

Enables 3'-5' exonuclease activity. Involved in maturation of 5.8S rRNA. Located in cytoplasm and nucleolus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Low constraint (pLI 0.00) — loss-of-function variants are relatively tolerated in the population.
