Gene: POLR2J

Alternate names for this Gene: POLR2J1|RPB11|RPB11A|RPB11m|hRPB14

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. The product of this gene exists as a heterodimer with another polymerase subunit; together they form a core subassembly unit of the polymerase. Two similar genes are located nearby on chromosome 7q22.1 and a pseudogene is found on chromosome 7p13.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q22.1

Description of this Gene: RNA polymerase II subunit J

Type of Gene: protein-coding
