Gene information for POLR2B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5431
Official gene symbolPOLR2B
Full namepolymerase (RNA) II (DNA directed) polypeptide B, 140kDa
Aliases,POL2RB,RPB2,hRPB140,hsRPB2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. This subunit, in combination with at least two other polymerase subunits, forms a structure within the polymerase that maintains contact in the active site of the enzyme between the DNA template and the newly synthesized RNA.
