Applications and Recommended Usage?
Quality Tested by Leinco
This antibody may be used to detect unproteolyzed RNA polymerase II or to inhibit specific transcription from class II promoters. This is a polyol-responsive antibody and can be used in gentle purifications of RNA polymerase II from from wheat germ, calf thymus, and yeast and is likely to purify RNA polymerase II from most eukaryotic organisms.
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.

Description

Specificity
Mouse Monoclonal Antibody specific to RNA Polymerase II. It reacts with the highly conserved heptapeptide repeat of the largest subunit of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II. It inhibits promoter directed transcription, but it does not inhibit elongation in the nonspecific transcription assay.
Function
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Largest and catalytic component of RNA polymerase II which synthesizes mRNA precursors and many functional non-coding RNAs. Forms the polymerase active center together with the sUniProtKB:P08775, PubMed:20231364, PubMed:23748380, PubMed:24207025, PubMed:26124092, PubMed:9852112}.; (Microbial infection) Acts as an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase when associated with small delta antigen of Hepatitis delta virus, acting both as a replicate and transcriptase for the viral RNA circular genome. {PubMed:18032511}.
