Gene information for POLRMT (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5442
Official gene symbolPOLRMT
Full namepolymerase (RNA) mitochondrial (DNA directed)
Aliases,APOLMT,MTRNAP,MTRPOL,h-mtRPOL,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a mitochondrial DNA-directed RNA polymerase. The gene product is responsible for mitochondrial gene expression as well as for providing RNA primers for initiation of replication of the mitochondrial genome. Although this polypeptide has the same function as the three nuclear DNA-directed RNA polymerases, it is more closely related to RNA polymerases of phage and mitochondrial polymerases of lower eukaryotes.
