N-nucleotide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

N-nucleotides, or nontemplated nucleotides are believed to exist only to create diversity at V(D)J junctions (see V(D)J recombination) during lymphocyte development.[1] The addition of these nucleotides is aided by an enzyme called Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)
