MeSH Heading: Elongin
Tree Number(s): D12.776.260.197; D12.776.930.215
Unique ID: D000075065
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000075065
Scope Note: A heterotrimeric protein complex composed of 110 kDa elongin A, 18 kDa elongin B, and 15 kDa elongin C subunits. It functions as a positive regulator of RNA POLYMERASE II, increasing its rate of transcriptional elongation by suppressing transient pausing along the DNA template. Elongin A is the transcriptionally active component; elongins B and C enhance its activity.
