Gene information for POLR2E (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database) |
Entrez gene ID | 5434 |
Official gene symbol | POLR2E |
Full name | polymerase (RNA) II (DNA directed) polypeptide E, 25kDa |
Aliases | ,RPABC1,RPB5,XAP4,hRPB25,hsRPB5, |
Gene summary | This gene encodes the fifth largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. This subunit is shared by the other two DNA-directed RNA polymerases and is present in two-fold molar excess over the other polymerase subunits. An interaction between this subunit and a hepatitis virus transactivating protein has been demonstrated, suggesting that interaction between transcriptional activators and the polymerase can occur through this subunit. A pseudogene is located on chromosome 11. [provided by RefSeq] |
