Mitochondrial Primase

Mitochondrial Primase is a specialized RNA polymerase enzyme that synthesizes short RNA primers on mitochondrial DNA to initiate lagging-strand DNA replication, distinguishing it from nuclear primases by its localization and functional adaptation within the mitochondrial genome maintenance system.
