Entrez Gene Name: polymerase (DNA directed) sigma
Synonyms: DNA repair, LAK-1, MGC69673, POLK, POLS, POLYMERASE SIGMA, TRF4, TRF4-1

Gene Summary

  • Human (11044): The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA polymerase that is likely involved in DNA repair. In addition, the encoded protein may be required for sister chromatid adhesion. [provided by RefSeq]
