Polymerase (DNA directed) nu is a protein in humans that is encoded by the POLN gene.^[5] It is a family A DNA polymerase,^[6] considered to be the least effective of the polymerase enzymes.^[7] However, DNA polymerase nu plays an active role in homology repair during cellular responses to crosslinks, fulfilling its role in a complex with helicase.^[7]
