Full name | | primase, DNA, polypeptide 2 (58kDa) |
Aliases | | ,MGC75142,PRIM2A,p58, |
Gene summary | | The 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 large, 58 kDa primase subunit. [provided by RefSeq] |
