DNA polymerase delta subunit 4 (DNA polymerase delta subunit p12)
Protein function
As a component of the tetrameric DNA polymerase delta complex (Pol-delta4), plays a role in high fidelity genome replication and repair. Within this complex, increases the rate of DNA synthesis and decreases fidelity by regulating POLD1 polymera
