    Summary
    Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA binding activity; metal ion binding activity; and ribonucleoside binding activity. Predicted to contribute to DNA-directed 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity. Predicted to be involved in transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II, core complex. Is expressed in head; intestine; and tail. Orthologous to human POLR2B (RNA polymerase II subunit B).
