This gene encodes one of the smallest subunits of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. This subunit is shared by the other two DNA-directed RNA polymerases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in humans demonstrated that the POLR2K gene was upregulated as part of the metabolism of RNA pathway in the colon during septic shock [Pinheiro da Silva et al. DOI:10.1111/jcmm.17938].
