Variant Forms of DNA Polymerase beta in Primary Lung Carcinomas
1 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase beta (pol beta) provides most of the gap-filling synthesis at apurinic/apyrimidine sites of damaged DNA in the base excision repair pathway. A truncated form of the pol beta protein is expressed in colon and breast cancers. However, the role of the pol beta gene in lung cancer is not known. Thus, we investigated a possible occurrence of pol beta variants in primary lung tumors. The entire cDNA of...
