Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is part of a complex termed negative elongation factor (NELF) which represses RNA polymerase II transcript elongation. This protein bears similarity to nuclear RNA-binding proteins; however, it has not been demonstrated that this protein binds RNA. The protein contains a tract of alternating basic and acidic residues, largely arginine (R) and aspartic acid (D). The gene localizes to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 52.1), ovary (RPKM 20.1) and 25 other tissues See more

NELFE expression was increased in pancreatic cancer (PC) tissues compared with the paired normal tissues. NELFE expression was upregulated in PC cells when compared with normal pancreatic cells. Knockdown of NELFE inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of PC cells. NELFE activates the Wnt/betacatenin signaling pathway and epithelialtomesenchymal transition by decreasing the stabilization of NDRG2 mRNA in PC.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
