About POLG2

Cytogenetic location: 17q23.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:64,477,785-64,497,054 (from NCBI)

This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 190 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 7.8), lymph node (RPKM 4.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes the processivity subunit of the mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma. The encoded protein forms a heterotrimer containing one catalytic subunit and two processivity subunits. This protein enhances DNA binding and promotes processive DNA synthesis. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
