About POLR2A

Cytogenetic location: 17p13.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:7,484,366-7,514,616 (from NCBI)

This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 197 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 59.5), skin (RPKM 31.0) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. The product of this gene contains a carboxy terminal domain composed of heptapeptide repeats that are essential for polymerase activity. These repeats contain serine and threonine residues that are phosphorylated in actively transcribing RNA polymerase. In addition, this subunit, in combination with several other polymerase subunits, forms the DNA binding domain of the polymerase, a groove in which the DNA template is transcribed into RNA.
