RNA Polymerase (RNAP)

Target
RNAP
Molecular classification
Enzyme
01

Overview

RNA polymerase is a multi-subunit enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template through the process of transcription. It plays a central role in gene expression by creating complementary RNA strands (including mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA) from DNA templates.
