(Exact Text Current Version) - 02-17-2020

A class II gene is a type of gene that codes for a protein. Class II genes are transcribed by RNAP II (needs reference).

Class II genes have a promoter that may contain a TATA box.

Basal transcription of class II genes requires the formation of a preinitiation complex.

They are transcribed by RNA polymerase II, include both intron and exon, and code for polypeptide.

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II genes are important in the immune response.
