POLR2J3
Description
The POLR2J3 (RNA polymerase II subunit J3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.
This gene encodes a protein that is a component of RNA polymerase I, the enzyme responsible for transcribing ribosomal RNA genes. The encoded protein is a subunit of the complex that is essential for the transcription of rRNA and for ribosome biogenesis.
The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the RNA polymerase I complex, which is responsible for the synthesis of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). This complex consists of multiple subunits, including the largest subunit (RPA1) and the second largest subunit (RPA2), as well as several smaller subunits. The encoded protein, along with other subunits, plays a role in the transcription of rRNA genes, a process essential for ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis.
POLR2J3 is also known as RPB11b2.
