General description

RNA polymerase II (RNAPII or Pol II) is a multi-subunit enzyme responsible for the transcription of transcription of DNA into RNA from protein-coding genes. Transcription initiation requires recruitment of the complete transcription machinery to a promoter via solicitation by activators and chromatin remodeling factors. RNAPII can coordinate 10 to 14 subunits. This complex interacts with the promoter regions of genes and a variety of elements and transcription factors. The DNA binding domain of the polymerase is a groove where TFIIB orients the DNA for unwinding and transcription.

Immunogen

Epitope: Phosphorylated Thr4

Ovalbumin-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human RNAPII phosphorylated at Thr4.
