Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit RPB2 (gene POLR2B) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 133.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 130 kDa.
POLR2B (RPB2) is the second-largest subunit of RNA polymerase II and, together with POLR2A, forms the enzyme's active center. RNA polymerase II synthesizes messenger RNA precursors and many non-coding RNAs, so POLR2B is a core part of gene transcription studies in human cells.

Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit RPB2 in the nucleus. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
