    basic FUNCTION
  • only known enzyme that efficiently carries out both the insertion and extension steps for bypass of apurinic sites, commonly formed as endogenous genomic lesions
  • may have a specialized function in lymphocytes and its overexpression may contribute to tumor progression
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, replication
