POLR1A RNA polymerase I subunit A

Gene ID: 25885, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: A190; RPA1; HLD27; RPO14; AFDCIN; RPA190; RPA194; RPO1-4

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is the largest subunit of the RNA polymerase I complex. The encoded protein represents the catalytic subunit of the complex, which transcribes DNA into ribosomal RNA precursors. Defects in this gene are a cause of the Cincinnati type of acrofacial dysostosis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]
