Because RNA pol II transcribes protein ... to exploit for the purposes of polymerase studies - although recreational mushroom hunters should beware! Thus, while eukaryotic transcription is far ...

Three different types of RNA polymerase exist in eukaryotic cells ... Thus, it is RNA pol II that transcribes the messenger RNAs, which serve as the templates for production of protein molecules.
