Molecule DNA polymerase beta, also known as and DNA polymerase beta.
Function
Repair polymerase that plays a key role in base-excision repair. Has 5'-deoxyribose-5-phosphate lyase (dRP lyase) activity that removes the 5' sugar phosphate and also acts as a DNA polymerase that adds one nucleotide to the 3' end of the arising single-nucleotide gap. Conducts 'gap-filling' DNA synthesis in a stepwise distributive fashion rather than in a processive fashion as for other DNA polymerases.Data source: Uniprot P06746
Catalytic Activity
Deoxynucleoside triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1).Data source: Uniprot P06746
