description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity. Involved in DNA replication initiation and DNA replication, synthesis of primer. Acts upstream of or within DNA replication. Located in nucleus. Part of alpha DNA polymerase:primase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Van Esch-O'Driscoll syndrome and X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder. Orthologous to human POLA1 (DNA polymerase alpha 1, catalytic subunit). PHENOTYPE: Male chimeras hemizygous for a gene trapped allele appear normal at E10.5. [provided by MGI curators] |
