Background
This gene encodes the 125-kDa catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase delta. DNA polymerase delta possesses both polymerase and 3' to 5' 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. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012],
Function
catalytic activity:Deoxynucleoside triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1).,function:Possesses two enzymatic activities: DNA synthesis (polymerase) and an exonucleolytic activity that degrades single stranded DNA in the 3'- to 5'-direction. Required with its accessory proteins (proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and replication factor C (RFC) or activator 1) for leading strand synthesis. Also involved in completing Okazaki fragments initiated by the DNA polymerase alpha/primase complex.,miscellaneous:In eukaryotes there are five DNA polymerases: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon which are responsible for different reactions of DNA synthesis.,similarity:Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-B family.,subunit:Heterotetramer composed of subunits of 125 kDa, 50 kDa, 66 kDa and 12 kDa. The 125 kDa subunit contains the polymerase active site and most likely the active site for

Cellular localization
Nucleus . Colocalizes with PCNA and POLD3 at S phase replication sites (PubMed:11595739). After UV irradiation, recruited to DNA damage sites within 2 hours, independently on the cell cycle phase, nor on PCNA ubiquitination. This recruitment requires POLD3, PCNA and RFC1-replication factor C complex (PubMed:20227374, PubMed:22801543). .
Tissue expression
Widely expressed, with high levels of expression in heart and lung.
