Identifier PCNA
Protein name RecName: Full=DNA polymerase sliding clamp;
AltName: Full=Proliferating cell nuclear antigen homolog;
                 Short=PCNA;
Gene name Name=pcn;

Comments [?]

FUNCTIONSliding clamp subunit that acts as a moving platform for DNA processing. Responsible for tethering the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase and other proteins to DNA during high-speed replication.
SUBUNITHomotrimer. The subunits circularize to form a toroid; DNA passes through its center. Replication factor C (RFC) is required to load the toroid on the DNA.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the PCNA family.
