What is the origin of the abductor pollicis longus?

Is abductor pollicis longus and extensor or flexor?

The Abductor pollicis longus (APL) is one of a deep extensor of the forearm and is responsible for facilitating movement and stabilization of the thumb. Its tendon is present in the first extensor compartment of the wrist. It lies immediately below the supinator and sometimes unites with it.
