Gene Alias
DNA replication helicase (EC 3.6.4.-)
Background
FUNCTION: Component of the helicase/primase complex. Unwinds the DNA at the replication forks and generates single-stranded DNA for both leading and lagging strand synthesis. The primase synthesizes short RNA primers on the lagging strand that the polymerase elongates using dNTPs. Possesses helicase-like motifs and therefore may act as the helicase subunit of the complex. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04030}.
