Term Name: RNA polymerase II activity Search Ontology:
Synonyms:
  • DNA-directed RNA polymerase activity involved in transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: nucleoside triphosphate + RNA(n) = diphosphate + RNA(n+1). Utilizes a DNA template that contains an RNA polymerase II specific promoter to direct initiation and catalyses DNA-template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand by one nucleotide at a time. Can initiate a chain 'de novo'.
