Retrocopy Summary Polr2kP6, located on chr8:30023086-30023433, is a retrocopy of the parental gene Polr2k. Retrocopies of protein-coding genes, also known as processed pseudogenes, are intriguing genomic elements with implications in genome evolution and diseases. While some retrocopies are non-functional, there are examples of retrocopies (retrogenes) acquiring regulatory roles or exhibiting neofunctionalization unrelated to their parental genes.

Parental Gene

Gene Name Polr2k
Full Name polymerase (RNA) II (DNA directed) polypeptide K
Also known as ABC10-alpha|MafY|Mt1a|RPABC4|RPB10alpha|RPB12|RPB7.0
Coordinate chr15:36174156-36177158
Strand +
Gene summary Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; DNA-directed 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase I complex; RNA polymerase II, core complex; and RNA polymerase III complex. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; nose; submandibular gland primordium; thymus primordium; and tooth. Orthologous to human POLR2K (RNA polymerase II, I and III subunit K). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
