InnateDB Gene

IDBG-37364 (ELP4)

Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Acts as subunit of the RNA polymerase II elongator complex, which is a histone acetyltransferase component of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) holoenzyme and is involved in transcriptional elongation. Elongator may play a role in chromatin remodeling and is involved in acetylation of histones H3 and probably H4. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11714725, ECO:0000269PubMed:11818576, ECO:0000269PubMed:16713582}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11889558}.
