| ncRNA Symbol: | RELA | | Full Name: | RELA proto-oncogene, NF-kB subunit | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | NFKB3|p65 | | Chromosome: | chr11 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 65653596 | End Site(bp): | 65663094 | | | Gene Summary: | NF-kappa-B is a ubiquitous transcription factor involved in several biological processes. It is held in the cytoplasm in an inactive state by specific inhibitors. Upon degradation of the inhibitor, NF-kappa-B moves to the nucleus and activates transcription of specific genes. NF-kappa-B is composed of NFKB1 or NFKB2 bound to either REL, RELA, or RELB. The most abundant form of NF-kappa-B is NFKB1 complexed with the product of this gene, RELA. Four transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011] | | External Links: | |
