Description
Anti-POLR2A Antibody (CAB11181)
The POLR2A Polyclonal Antibody (CAB11181) is a valuable tool for researchers studying POLR2A, a key enzyme involved in transcription and RNA synthesis. The antibody, raised in rabbits, is highly specific for human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the POLR2A protein, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of POLR2A expression in various cell types, making it an essential tool for studies in molecular biology and gene expression.POLR2A is a critical component of the RNA polymerase II complex, responsible for transcribing messenger RNA and regulating gene expression.
Its involvement in transcriptional regulation makes it a crucial target for research into gene expression, cell growth, and development. By understanding the role of POLR2A in these processes, researchers can gain insight into diseases such as cancer, genetic disorders, and developmental abnormalities, ultimately leading to the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Background: | This gene encodes the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. The product of this gene contains a carboxy terminal domain composed of heptapeptide repeats that are essential for polymerase activity. These repeats contain serine and threonine residues that are phosphorylated in actively transcribing RNA polymerase. In addition, this subunit, in combination with several other polymerase subunits, forms the DNA binding domain of the polymerase, a groove in which the DNA template is transcribed into RNA. |
UniProt Protein Function: | POLR2A: DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Largest and catalytic component of RNA polymerase II which synthesizes mRNA precursors and many functional non-coding RNAs. Forms the polymerase active center together with the second largest subunit. Pol II is the central component of the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. It is composed of mobile elements that move relative to each other. RPB1 is part of the core element with the central large cleft, the clamp element that moves to open and close the cleft and the jaws that are thought to grab the incoming DNA template. At the start of transcription, a single stranded DNA template strand of the promoter is positioned within the central active site cleft of Pol II. A bridging helix emanates from RPB1 and crosses the cleft near the catalytic site and is thought to promote translocation of Pol II by acting as a ratchet that moves the RNA-DNA hybrid through the active site by switching from straight to bent conformations at each step of nucleotide addition. During transcription elongation, Pol II moves on the template as the transcript elongates. Elongation is influenced by the phosphorylation status of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Pol II largest subunit (RPB1), which serves as a platform for assembly of factors that regulate transcription initiation, elongation, termination and mRNA processing. Acts as a RNA- dependent RNA polymerase when associated with small delta antigen of Hepatitis delta virus, acting both as a replicate and transcriptase for the viral RNA circular genome. Component of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) complex consisting of 12 subunits. The phosphorylated C-terminal domain interacts with FNBP3 and SYNCRIP. Interacts with SAFB/SAFB1. Interacts with CCNL1 and MYO1C. Interacts with CCNL2 and SFRS19. Component of a complex which is at least composed of HTATSF1/Tat-SF1, the P-TEFb complex components CDK9 and CCNT1, RNA polymerase II, SUPT5H, and NCL/nucleolin. Interacts with PAF1. Interacts (via C-terminus) with FTSJD2, CTDSP1 and SCAF8. Interacts via the phosphorylated C-terminal domain with WDR82 and with SETD1A and SETD1B only in the presence of WDR82. Interacts with ATF7IP. When phosphorylated at 'Ser-5', interacts with MEN1; the unphosphorylated form, or phosphorylated at 'Ser-2' does not interact. Interacts with DDX5. Belongs to the RNA polymerase beta' chain family. |
