ELAC2 - elaC ribonuclease Z 2 Gene
Also Known as ELC2; HPC2; COXPD17
Species: Homo sapiens
About ELAC2
This gene has 21 transcripts (splice variants), 196 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 5 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in colon (RPKM 15.0), testis (RPKM 14.9) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene has a C-terminal domain with tRNA 3′ processing endoribonuclease activity, which catalyzes the removal of the 3' trailer from precursor tRNAs. The protein also interacts with activated Smad Family member 2 (SMAD2) and its nuclear partner forkhead box H1 (also known as FAST-1), and reduced expression can suppress transforming growth factor-beta induced growth arrest. Mutations in this gene result in an increased risk of prostate Cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
