Chez les procaryotes, cette enzyme est unique. Chez les eucaryotes, on en connaît trois spécialisées dans la transcription des différents groupes de gènes (ARN polymérase I ou A, pour les ARN ribosomiques; ARN polymérase II ou B, pour les ARN messagers; ARN polymérase III ou C, pour les petits ARN).

Before a provirus's genes can be effective, RNA copies of them that can be read by the host's cell protein-making machinery must be produced by forward transcription. This transcription stage is accomplished by the cell's own enzymes, including RNA polymerase II. 1, record 2, English, - RNA%20polymerase%20II
