Primpol - primase and DNA directed polymerase

Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity; nucleotidyltransferase activity; and transition metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA metabolic process; mitochondrial DNA replication; and response to UV. Predicted to be located in replication fork. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial matrix and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myopia. Orthologous to human PRIMPOL (primase and DNA directed polymerase).
