Primary Identifier | MGI:97741 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 18971 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 3'-5' exonuclease activity and enzyme binding activity. Involved in DNA biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within DNA replication proofreading and base-excision repair, gap-filling. Part of delta DNA polymerase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human POLD1 (DNA polymerase delta 1, catalytic subunit). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have an elevated mutation rate as well as an increased incidence of tumors. Median age for these mice is around 10 months.
