Function

This gene encodes a subunit of 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 unit may be shared by the other two DNA-directed RNA polymerases.[6]

Interactions

POLR2L has been shown to interact with POLR2C,[7] POLR2A,[7] POLR2B[7] and POLR2E.[7]
