(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID64895
Official gene symbolPAPOLG
Full namepoly(A) polymerase gamma
Aliases,FLJ11805,FLJ12972,FLJ13482,FLJ14187,MGC133307,MGC133308,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the poly(A) polymerase family which catalyzes template-independent extension of the 3' end of a DNA/RNA strand. This enzyme shares 60% identity to the well characterized poly(A) polymerase II (PAPII) at the amino acid level. These two enzymes have similar organization of structural and functional domains. This enzyme is exclusively localized in the nucleus and exhibits both nonspecific and CPSF (cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor)/AAUAAA-dependent polyadenylation activity. This gene is located on chromosome 2 in contrast to the PAPII gene, which is located on chromosome 14. [provided by RefSeq]
