General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function TdT also has a templated-polymerase activity, in the presence of higher concentrations of a downstream DNA duplex, and performs a micro-homology single base-pair search to align the DNA synapsis. Both templated and untemplated activities of TdT are needed to explain the distributions of lengths of N regions observed experimentally in T cell receptors and antibodies Mus musculus
