Gene:
polymerase (RNA) II (DNA directed) polypeptide L, 7.6kDa
Gene ID:
191381
Symbol:
POLR2L
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. The product of this gene contains four conserved cysteines characteristic of an atypical zinc-binding domain. Like its counterpart in yeast, this subunit may be shared by the other two DNA-directed RNA polymerases.
