Elp3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable acetyltransferase activity and phosphorylase kinase regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and tRNA wobble base 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridinylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleolus. Predicted to be part of elongator holoenzyme complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human ELP3 (elongator acetyltransferase complex subunit 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Elp3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
