Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a DNA polymerase. DNA polymerases catalyze DNA-template-directed extension of the 3'-end of a DNA strand. This particular polymerase, which is a member of the X family of DNA polymerases, likely plays a role in non-homologous end joining and other DNA repair processes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010].
- UniProt Summary: DNA polymerase that functions in several pathways of DNA repair (PubMed:11457865, PubMed:19806195, PubMed:20693240). Involved in base excision repair (BER) responsible for repair of lesions that give rise to abasic (AP) sites in DNA (PubMed:11457865, PubMed:19806195). Also contributes to DNA double-strand break repair by non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination (PubMed:19806195, PubMed:20693240). Has both template-dependent and template-independent (terminal transferase) DNA polymerase activities (PubMed:10982892, PubMed:10887191, PubMed:12809503, PubMed:14627824, PubMed:15537631, PubMed:19806195). Has also a 5'-deoxyribose-5- phosphate lyase (dRP lyase) activity (PubMed:11457865, PubMed:19806195). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10887191, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10982892, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11457865, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12809503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14627824, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15537631, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19806195, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20693240}.
