PRIM2

From English Wikipedia @ Freddythechick

An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox DNA primase large subunit is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PRIM2 gene.[1][2]

The replication of DNA in eukaryotic cells is carried out by a complex chromosomal replication apparatus, in which DNA polymerase alpha and primase are two key enzymatic components. Primase, which is a heterodimer of a small subunit and a large subunit, synthesizes small RNA primers for the Okazaki fragments made during discontinuous DNA replication. The protein encoded by this gene is the large, 58 kDa primase subunit.[2]
