POLR2B

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:Short description Template:Cs1 config An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit RPB2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the POLR2B gene.[1][2]

This 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.[3]

Interactions

POLR2B has been shown to interact with POLR2C,[4] POLR2E,[4] POLR2H[4] and POLR2L.[4]
