SNF8
SNF8 Gene Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport II (ESCRT-II), which regulates the movement of ubiquitinylated transmembrane proteins to the lysosome for degradation. This complex also interacts with the RNA polymerase II elongation factor (ELL) to overcome the repressive effects of ELL on RNA polymerase II activity. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

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 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
