Protein attributes

Sequence length	509 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Template-independent DNA polymerase which catalyzes the random addition of deoxynucleoside 5'-triphosphate to the 3'-end of a DNA initiator. One of the in vivo functions of this enzyme is the addition of nucleotides at the junction (N region) of rearranged Ig heavy chain and T-cell receptor gene segments during the maturation of B- and T-cells.
Catalytic activity	Deoxynucleoside triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1).
Cofactor	Magnesium.
Subunit structure	Interacts with PRP19 and DNTTIP1. Forms a ternary complex with DNTTIP2 and core histone. Released from this complex by PCNA. Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11
Subcellular location	Nucleus.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-X family. Contains 1 BRCT domain.
