POLR2L

DNA-directed RNA polymerases I, II, and III subunit RPABC5 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the POLR2L is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a subunit of is_associated_with::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.

Interactions
POLR2L has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::POLR2C, is_associated_with::POLR2A, is_associated_with::POLR2B and is_associated_with::POLR2E.
