Family X polymerases consist of polymerases like Pol β, Pol μ, and Pol λ. Pol β's main function is short-patch base excision repair, a repair pathway used for repairing alkylated or oxidized bases. Pol λ and Pol μ are essential for rejoining DNA double-strand breaks due to hydrogen peroxide and ionizing radiation, respectively.<ref name="ncbi" /> For more details see [[DNA polymerase beta]]. | Family X polymerases consist of polymerases like Pol β, Pol μ, and Pol λ.
