Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a core subunit of the elongator complex, a histone acetyltransferase complex that associates with RNA polymerase II. In addition to histone acetylation, the encoded protein effects transcriptional elongation and may help remodel chromatin. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

  1. NR_040110.3 RNA Sequence

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (7) lacks a coding exon and represents use of an alternate splice site, compared to variant 1. These differences result in a frameshift and premature stop codon. The transcript is predicted to be subject to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and thus is represented as non-coding.
