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. Is expressed in gonad; pharynx; vulva; and vulval precursor cell. Orthologous to human POLA2 (DNA polymerase alpha 2, accessory subunit).
WB Description
div-1 encodes a homolog of the B subunit of the DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex; DIV-1 is required in embryos for the normal timing of interphase in cell divisions, and for the asymmetric distribution of PIE-1 and P granules.
