Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA replication initiation. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of alpha DNA polymerase:primase complex. Expressed in gonad; vulva; and vulval precursor cell. Is an ortholog of human POLA2 (DNA polymerase alpha 2, accessory subunit).
Is affected by several genes including dpy-21; spt-16; and emb-4 based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by five chemicals including rifampin; allantoin; and Sirolimus based on RNA-seq studies.
