Term Name: transcription initiation at RNA polymerase II promoter
Synonyms: transcription initiation from Pol II promoter, transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter
Definition: A transcription initiation process that takes place at a RNA polymerase II gene promoter. Messenger RNAs (mRNA) genes, as well as some non-coding RNAs, are transcribed by RNA polymerase II.
