== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: This gene encodes a DNA polymerase type-A family member. The encoded protein plays a role in DNA repair and homologous recombination. This gene shares its 5' exons with some transcripts from overlapping GeneID: 79441, which encodes an augmentin-like protein complex subunit. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014].
* **UniProt Summary**: DNA polymerase with very low fidelity that catalyzes considerable misincorporation by inserting dTTP opposite a G template, and dGTP opposite a T template (PubMed:16787914, PubMed:17118716). Is the least accurate of the DNA polymerase A family (i.e. POLG, POLN and POLQ) (PubMed:17118716). Can perform accurate translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) past a 5S-thymine glycol. Can perform efficient strand displacement past a nick or a gap and gives rise to an amount of product similar to that on non-damaged template. Has no exonuclease activity (PubMed:16787914). Error- prone DNA polymerase that preferentially misincorporates dT regardless of template sequence (PubMed:25775266). May play a role in TLS during interstrand cross-link (ICL) repair (PubMed:19908865). May be involved in TLS when genomic replication is blocked by extremely large major groove DNA lesions. May function in the bypass of some DNA-protein and DNA-DNA cross- links. May have a role in cellular tolerance to DNA cross-linking agents (PubMed:20102227). Involved in the repair of DNA cross- links and double-strand break (DSB) resistance. Participates in FANCD2-mediated repair. Forms a complex with HELQ helicase that participates in homologous recombination (HR) repair and is essential for cellular protection against DNA cross-links (PubMed:19995904). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16787914, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17118716, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19908865, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19995904, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20102227, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25775266}.
