ELP4 (Elongator complex protein 4) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Renal cell carcinoma.
Component of the elongator complex which is required for multiple tRNA modifications, including mcm5U (5-methoxycarbonylmethyl uridine), mcm5s2U (5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine), and ncm5U (5-carbamoylmethyl uridine). The elongator complex catalyses the formation of carboxymethyluridine in the wobble base at position 34 in tRNAs.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.51 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.37, animal model 0.57, genetic association 0.80).
In plain words · ELP4 (Elongator complex protein 4) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Renal cell carcinoma.
