REV3L REV3 like, DNA directed polymerase zeta catalytic subunit

Gene ID: 5980, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: POLZ; REV3

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene represents the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase zeta, which functions in translesion DNA synthesis. The encoded protein can be found in mitochondria, where it protects DNA from damage. Defects in this gene are a cause of Mobius syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]
