    Summary
    Predicted to enable several functions, including 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity; enzyme binding activity; and metal ion binding activity. Predicted to contribute to RNA polymerase II activity. Involved in cellular response to oxygen levels and response to organic cyclic compound. Predicted to be located in euchromatin and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Prp19 complex and RNA polymerase II, core complex. Orthologous to human POLR2A (RNA polymerase II subunit A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
