Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is an error-prone DNA polymerase involved in DNA repair. The encoded protein promotes DNA synthesis across lesions in the template DNA, which other polymerases cannot do. The encoded polymerase inserts deoxynucleotides across lesions and then relies on DNA polymerase zeta to extend the nascent DNA strand to bypass the lesion. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (1) encodes two different proteins, isoform a (long) and isoform a (short). This particular record shows the short form, which originates by use of an in-frame downstream translation start codon compared to the long form. This short form lacks the N-terminal 25 aa present in the long form and represents the predominant isoform found in human cells.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (1) encodes the longest protein [isoform a (long)]. However, this full length (740 aa) form is a minor form. A downstream translation start site is more commonly used, resulting in a 715 aa protein [isoform a (short)].
