Term Name: transcription by RNA polymerase II
Synonyms: gene-specific transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter, general transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter, RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity, specific transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter, transcription from Pol II promoter, transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter
Definition: The synthesis of RNA from a DNA template by RNA polymerase II (RNAP II), originating at an RNA polymerase II promoter. Includes transcription of messenger RNA (mRNA) and certain small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs).
