| Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 26447 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to UV-C and translesion synthesis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule and nuclear speck. Is expressed in brain; metanephros; primary spermatocyte; spermatid; and testis. Orthologous to human POLI (DNA polymerase iota). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a spontaneous mutation show normal somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin variable genes and no significant increase in UV-induced epithelial skin tumor formation relative to controls; in contrast, formation of mesenchymal tumors by chronic UV irradiation is enhanced.
