DNA polymerase epsilon, which is involved in DNA repair and replication, is composed of a large catalytic subunit and a small accessory subunit. The protein encoded by this gene represents the small subunit (B). Defects in this gene have been linked to co

DNA polymerase epsilon subunit 2 (DNA polymerase II subunit 2) (DNA polymerase epsilon subunit B)
Protein function
Accessory component of the DNA polymerase epsilon complex (PubMed:10801849). Participates in DNA repair and in chromosomal DNA replication (By similarity).
