POLR2D RNA polymerase II subunit D

Gene ID: 5433, updated on 17-Aug-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RBP4; RPB4; RPB16; HSRBP4; HSRPB4

Summary

This gene encodes the fourth largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. In yeast, this polymerase subunit is associated with the polymerase under suboptimal growth conditions and may have a stress protective role. A sequence for a ribosomal pseudogene is contained within the 3' untranslated region of the transcript from this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
