Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; DNA-directed 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity; and protein dimerization activity. Predicted to contribute to RNA polymerase I activity and RNA polymerase III activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA-templated transcription. Part of RNA polymerase I complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; midbrain; respiratory system; and telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Treacher Collins syndrome 3 and hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 11. Orthologous to human POLR1C (RNA polymerase I and III subunit C).
