    Summary
    Enables DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity; double-stranded DNA binding activity; and nucleotide binding activity. Involved in DNA biosynthetic process and DNA replication. Part of alpha DNA polymerase:primase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Van Esch-O'Driscoll syndrome and X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder. Orthologous to human POLA1 (DNA polymerase alpha 1, catalytic subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
