Human DNA polymerase

Human DNA polymerase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in copying our genetic information. During cell division, it reads the existing DNA strands and synthesizes new complementary strands to create exact copies. This process ensures that each new cell has the correct genetic instructions. DNA polymerase not only copies DNA but also proofreads the new strands to minimize errors, maintaining genetic stability. There are multiple types of DNA polymerases in humans, each with specific functions in DNA replication and repair, essential for proper growth, development, and maintenance of health.
