Functioncatalytic activity:Deoxynucleoside triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1).,function:Polymerase alpha in a complex with DNA primase is a replicative polymerase.,miscellaneous:In eukaryotes there are five DNA polymerases: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon which are responsible for different reactions of DNA synthesis.,PTM:A 165 kDa form is probably produced by proteolytic cleavage at Lys-124.,similarity:Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-B family.,subunit:Interacts with SV40 Large T antigen; this interaction allows viral DNA replication.,
Subcellular LocationNucleus . Cytoplasm, cytosol . In the cytosol, colocalizes with RNA:DNA hybrids with a speckled pattern. .
BackgroundThis gene encodes the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase, which together with a regulatory and two primase subunits, forms the DNA polymerase alpha complex. The catalytic subunit plays an essential role in the initiation of DNA replication. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010],
