Gene information for PRIM1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5557
Official gene symbolPRIM1
Full nameprimase, DNA, polypeptide 1 (49kDa)
Aliases,MGC12308,p49,
Gene summaryThe replication of DNA in eukaryotic cells is carried out by a complex chromosomal replication apparatus, in which DNA polymerase alpha and primase are two key enzymatic components. Primase, which is a heterodimer of a small subunit and a large subunit, synthesizes small RNA primers for the Okazaki fragments made during discontinuous DNA replication. The protein encoded by this gene is the small, 49 kDa primase subunit. [provided by RefSeq]
