| DEFINITION |
DNA nucleotidylexotransferase (509 aa, ~59 kDa) is encoded by the human DNTT gene. This protein plays a role in DNA polymerization and specifically catalyzes the insertion of nucleotides (N regions) at the V(H)-D and D-J(H) junctions of immunoglobulin genes. |
| DesignNote |
Terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase is a unique DNA polymerase that without template direction catalyzes the addition of deoxyribonucleotides onto the 3-prime-hydroxyl end of DNA primers. The enzyme is present in immature thymocytes, some bone marrow cells, transformed pre-B and pre-T cell lines, and leukemia cells. |
