DNA-directed RNA polymerases I and III subunit RPAC1 (DNA-directed RNA polymerase I subunit C) (RNA polymerases I and III subunit AC1) (AC40) (DNA-directed RNA polymerases I and III 40 kDa polypeptide) (RPA40) (RPA39) (RPC40)
Protein function
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Common component of RNA polymerases I and III which synthesize ribosomal RNA precursors and short non-coding RNAs
