Gene: POLR1A

Alternate names for this Gene: A190|AFDCIN|RPA1|RPA190|RPA194|RPO1-4|RPO14

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p11.2

Description of this Gene: RNA polymerase I subunit A

Type of Gene: protein-coding
