POLR2C RNA polymerase II subunit C

Gene ID: 5432, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RPB3; RPB31; hRPB33; hsRPB3

Summary

This gene encodes the third largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. The product of this gene contains a cysteine rich region and exists as a heterodimer with another polymerase subunit, POLR2J. These two subunits form a core subassembly unit of the polymerase. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 21. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
