Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ ELP3 is the catalytic subunit of the histone acetyltransferase elongator complex, which contributes to transcript elongation and also regulates the maturation of projection neurons (Creppe et al., 2009 [PubMed 19185337]).[supplied by OMIM_x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ ELP3 (NP_060561.3, 1 a.a. ~ 547 a.a) full-length human protein._x000D_ Sequence_x000D_ MRQKRKGDLSPAELMMLTIGDVIKQLIEAHEQGKDIDLNKVKTKTAAKYGLSAQPRLVDIIAAVPPQYRKVLMPKLKAKPIRTASGIAVVAVMCKPHRCPHISFTGNICVYCPGGPDSDFEYSTQSYTGYEPTSMRAIRARYDPFLQTRHRIEQLKQLGHSVDKVEFIVMGGTFMALPEEYRDYFIRNLHDALSGHTSNNIYEAVKYSERSLTKCIGITIETRPDYCMKRHLSDMLTYGCTRLEIGVQSVYEDVARDTNRGHTVKAVCESFHLAKDSGFKVVAHMMPDLPNVGLERDIEQFTEFFENPAFRPDGLKLYPTLVIRGTGLYELWKSGRYKSYSPSDLVELVARILALVPPWTRVYRVQRDIPMPLVSSGVEHGNLRELALARMKDLGIQCRDVRTREVGIQEIHHKVRPYQVELVRRDYVANGGWETFLSYEDPDQDILIGLLRLRKCSEETFRFELGGGVSIVRELHVYGSVVPVSSRDPTKFQHQGFGMLLMEEAERIAREEHGSGKIAVISGVGTRNYYRKIGYRLQGPYMVKMLK_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ ELP3 (elongator complex protein 3) is a catalytic subunit of the histone acetyltransferase elongator complex. It enhances histone H3 acetylation, thereby regulating gene regulation in neurons. Dysregulation of ELP3 activity causes neuronal disorders, such as familial dysautonomia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It might be a potential acetyltransferase for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The ELP3 gene promoter is hypermethylated in invasive ductal breast carcinoma, causing transcriptional inactivation of the gene.
