Pold1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables 3'-5' exonuclease activity and enzyme binding activity. Involved in DNA biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within DNA replication proofreading and base-excision repair, gap-filling. Part of delta DNA polymerase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human POLD1 (DNA polymerase delta 1, catalytic subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Pold1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
