| UniProt functional annotation for Q9NP87 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9NP87. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Gap-filling polymerase involved in repair of DNA double- strand breaks by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Participates in immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain gene rearrangement in V(D)J recombination. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12640116, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12888504, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17483519, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17915942}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:22508, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11130, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11131, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:61560, ChEBI:CHEBI:83828; EC=2.7.7.7; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000250}; | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed in a number of tissues. Abundant in thymus. | |
| Miscellaneous: | DPOLM has a reduced ability to distinguish dNTP and rNTP as substrates, and elongates them on DNA primer strand with a similar efficiency. It is able to polymerize nucleotides on RNA primer strands. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-X family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
