POLR2B - RNA polymerase II subunit B Gene
Also Known as RPB2; POL2RB; hRPB140
Species: Homo sapiens
About POLR2B
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 220 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in lymph node (RPKM 28.6), testis (RPKM 28.1) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (Pol II), a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that catalyzes the transcription of DNA into precursors of mRNA, snRNA and MicroRNA. This subunit and the largest subunit form opposite sides of the center cleft of Pol II. Deletion of the FLAP loop region of this subunit results in a decrease in the rate of transcriptional elongation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
