LARP7 La ribonucleoprotein 7, transcriptional regulator

Gene ID: 51574, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ALAZS; PIP7S; hLARP7; HDCMA18P

Summary

This gene encodes a protein which is found in the 7SK snRNP (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein). This snRNP complex inhibits a cyclin-dependent kinase, positive transcription elongation factor b, which is required for paused RNA polymerase II at a promoter to begin transcription elongation. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]
