Name DNA polymerase eta
Synonyms
  1. RAD30 homolog A
  2. Xeroderma pigmentosum variant type protein
Gene Name POLH
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in damaged DNA binding
Specific Function DNA polymerase specifically involved in DNA repair. Plays an important role in translesion synthesis, where the normal high fidelity DNA polymerases cannot proceed and DNA synthesis stalls. Plays an important role in the repair of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers. Depending on the context, it inserts the correct base, but causes frequent base transitions and transversions. May play a role in hypermutation at immunoglobulin genes. Forms a Schiff base with 5'-deoxyribose phosphate at abasic sites, but does not have lyase activity. Targets POLI to replication foci.
Pathways
  • Fanconi anemia pathway
