DNA Polymerase Catalytic Subunit (DNA Pol catalytic subunit)

Target
DNA Pol catalytic subunit
Molecular classification
Enzyme, Polymerase
01

Overview

The DNA polymerase catalytic subunit is the core enzymatic component of DNA polymerases, responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands from deoxyribonucleotides during replication and repair. It typically contains palm, finger, and thumb domains, and requires divalent metal ions for catalysis. Different catalytic subunits (e.g., alpha, delta, epsilon) have distinct roles in DNA replication and repair, with some possessing proofreading activity.
