OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes the transcriptionally active subunit of the SIII (or elongin) transcription elongation factor complex, which also includes two regulatory subunits, elongins B and C. This complex acts to increase the rate of RNA chain elongation by RNA polymerase II by suppressing transient pausing of the polymerase at many sites along the DNA template. Whereas a related protein with similar function, elongin A, is ubiquitously expressed, the encoded protein is specifically expressed in the testis, suggesting it may have a role in spermatogenesis.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ELOA2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ELOA2 could matter depends on whether native ELOA2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ELOA2 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label ELOA2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
