Polq - DNA polymerase theta

Predicted to enable catalytic activity, acting on DNA; chromatin binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA repair; negative regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin genes. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human POLQ (DNA polymerase theta).
