This gene is a member of the DNA polymerase type-X family
and encodes a template-independent DNA polymerase that catalyzes
the addition of deoxynucleotides to the 3'-hydroxyl terminus of
oligonucleotide primers. In vivo, the encoded protein is expressed
in a restricted population of normal and malignant pre-B and pre-T
lymphocytes during early differentiation, where it generates
antigen receptor diversity by synthesizing non-germ line elements
(N-regions) at the junctions of rearranged Ig heavy chain and T
cell receptor gene segments. Alternatively spliced transcript
variants encoding different isoforms of this gene have been
described.1) Kubota, T., et al. Genes Cells 12(8):941-959(2007)
