Gene information for ELAC2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID60528
Official gene symbolELAC2
Full nameelaC homolog 2 (E. coli)
Aliases,ELC2,FLJ10530,FLJ36693,FLJ42848,HPC2,
Gene summaryThe 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]
