Polr2k - polymerase (RNA) II (DNA directed) polypeptide K

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; DNA-directed 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase I complex; RNA polymerase II, core complex; and RNA polymerase III complex. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; nose; submandibular gland primordium; thymus primordium; and tooth. Orthologous to human POLR2K (RNA polymerase II, I and III subunit K). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
