ID:EAF2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=ELL-associated factor 2; AltName: Full=Testosterone-regulated apoptosis inducer and tumor suppressor protein; FUNCTION: Acts as a transcriptional transactivator of TCEA1 elongation activity (By similarity). Acts as a transcriptional transactivator of ELL and ELL2 elongation activities. Potent inducer of apoptosis in prostatic and non-prostatic cell lines. Inhibits prostate tumor growth in vivo. SUBUNIT: Isoform 1 and isoform 2 interact with TCEA1 (By similarity). Interacts with ELL and ELL2. INTERACTION: P0C1Z6:TFPT; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-1245604, EBI-1245626; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus speckle. Note=Colocalizes with ELL to nuclear speckles. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, prostate, testis, small intestine, colon, adrenal, bone marrow, lymph node, spinal gland, stomach, thyroid, trachea, thymus, liver and leukocytes. INDUCTION: By androgen. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the EAF family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
