def: "Catalysis of the synthesis of a short RNA primer on a DNA template, providing a free 3'-OH that can be extended by DNA-directed DNA polymerases. In certain conditions, for example in response to DNA damage, some primases synthesize a DNA primer." [GOC:mah, GOC:mcc, PMID:11395402, PMID:26184436, PMID:38203225, PMID:38492718]
