Gene: ELP2

Alternate names for this Gene: MRT58|SHINC-2|STATIP1|StIP

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a core subunit of the elongator complex, a histone acetyltransferase complex that associates with RNA polymerase II. In addition to histone acetylation, the encoded protein effects transcriptional elongation and may help remodel chromatin.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 18

Location in Chromosome : 18q12.2

Description of this Gene: elongator acetyltransferase complex subunit 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: SLC39A6

Alternate names for this Gene: LIV-1|ZIP6

Gene Summary: Zinc is an essential cofactor for hundreds of enzymes. It is involved in protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism, as well as in the control of gene transcription, growth, development, and differentiation. SLC39A6 belongs to a subfamily of proteins that show structural characteristics of zinc transporters (Taylor and Nicholson, 2003 [PubMed 12659941]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].
