Description
Product Characteristics: This gene (Gcom1) is part of a complex transcript unit that includes the gene for glutamate receptor, ionotropic, N-methyl D-aspartate-like 1A (GRINL1A). Transcription of this gene occurs at an upstream promoter, with two different groups of alternatively spliced variants: Gup for GRINL1A upstream transcripts and Gcom for GRINL1A combined transcripts. The GRINL1A gene uses a downstream promoter for transcription and also has multiple alternatively spliced variants.
Target Information: This gene encodes a subunit of RNA polymerase II, a protein complex that is responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. The encoded protein functions as a component of a specific form of RNA polymerase II termed Pol II(G). This protein may act as a negative regulator of activator-dependent transcription. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream gene MYZAP (myocardial zonula adherens protein).
