POLD3
POLD3 (DNA polymerase delta subunit 3) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target and a DNA repair gene, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. Tied to Leukaemia, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Lung cancer and 5 more.
Overview
Accessory component of both the DNA polymerase delta complex and the DNA polymerase zeta complex. As a component of the trimeric and tetrameric DNA polymerase delta complexes (Pol-delta3 and Pol-delta4, respectively), plays a role in high fidelity genome replication, including in lagging strand synthesis, and repair. Required for optimal Pol-delta activity.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.70 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.43, genetic association 0.49, clinical 0.99).

Biology
Accessory component of both the DNA polymerase delta complex and the DNA polymerase zeta complex. As a component of the trimeric and tetrameric DNA polymerase delta complexes (Pol-delta3 and Pol-delta4, respectively), plays a role in high fidelity genome replication, including in lagging strand synthesis, and repair. Required for optimal Pol-delta activity. Stabilises the Pol-delta complex and plays a major role in Pol-delta stimulation by PCNA. Pol-delta3 and Pol-delta4 are characterised by the absence or the presence of POLD4. They exhibit differences in catalytic activity. Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 11q13.4 (HGNC).

Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: Open Targets known-drug datatype score 0.99; UniProt keyword "DNA repair". Evidence tier "approved-drug" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
