{"symbol":"POLD1","synonyms":["POLD","CRCS10","MDPL"],"name":"polymerase (DNA directed), delta 1, catalytic subunit","description":"This gene encodes the 125-kDa catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase delta. DNA polymerase delta possesses both polymerase and 3\u0027 to 5\u0027 exonuclease activity and plays a critical role in DNA replication and repair. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 6.
