Anti-DNA Polymerase lambda/POLL Antibody Picoband®

DNA polymerase lambda, also known as POLL, is a protein found in eukaryotes. In humans, it is encoded by the POLLA gene. POLL has 5-prime-deoxyribose-5-phosphate lyase activity and strand-displacement synthesis activity on gapped DNA substrates, suggesting that POLL participates in short- and long-patch base excision repair. POLL is widely expressed, with abundant expression in pachytene spermatocytes of testis and in ovary.

DNA polymerase that functions in several pathways of DNA repair (PubMed:11457865, PubMed:19806195, PubMed:20693240) . Involved in base excision repair (BER) responsible for repair of lesions that give rise to abasic (AP) sites in DNA (PubMed:11457865, PubMed:19806195) . Also contributes to DNA double-strand break repair by non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination (PubMed:19806195, PubMed:20693240) . Has both template-dependent and template-independent (terminal transferase) DNA polymerase activities (PubMed:10982892, PubMed:10887191, PubMed:12809503, PubMed:14627824, PubMed:15537631, PubMed:19806195) . Has also a 5'-deoxyribose-5- phosphate lyase (dRP lyase) activity (PubMed:11457865, PubMed:19806195) .
