Description
Predicted to have 3'-5' exonuclease activity and DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial DNA replication. Predicted to localize to mitochondrion. Used to study mitochondrial metabolism disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (multiple); mitochondrial myopathy (multiple); neurodegenerative disease (multiple); ovarian disease (multiple); and sensory ataxic neuropathy, dysarthria, and ophthalmoparesis. Is expressed in exocrine pancreas. Orthologous to human POLG (DNA polymerase gamma, catalytic subunit).
