[5] This gene encodes a subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes.

The product of this gene contains four conserved cysteines characteristic of an atypical zinc-binding domain.

Like its counterpart in yeast, this subunit may be shared by the other two DNA-directed RNA polymerases.
