---|---|
Synonyms | COBRA1 {ECO:0000303|PubMed:11739404}, KI |
Function | Essential component of the NELF complex, a complex that negatively regulates the elongation of transcription by RNA polymerase II (PubMed:12612062). The NELF complex, which acts via an association with the DSIF complex and causes transcriptional pausing, is counteracted by the P-TEFb kinase complex (PubMed:10199401). May be able to induce chromatin unfolding (PubMed:11739404). Essential for early embryogenesis; plays an important role in maintaining the undifferentiated state of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by preventing unscheduled expression of developmental genes (By similarity). Plays a key role in establishing the responsiveness of stem cells to developmental cues; facilitates plasticity and cell fate commitment in ESCs by establishing the appropriate expression level of signaling molecules (By similarity). Supports the transcription of genes involved in energy metabolism in cardiomyocytes; facilitates the association of transcription initiation factors with the promoters of the metabolism- related genes (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Expressed in heart, brain, lung, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas |

Background
NELFB is a subunit of negative elongation factor (NELF),which also includes NELFA (WHSC2; MIM 606026), either NELFC orNELFD (TH1L; MIM 605297), and NELFE (RDBP; MIM 154040). NELF actswith DRB sensitivity-inducing factor (DSIF), a heterodimer of SPT4(SUPT4H1; MIM 603555) and SPT5 (SUPT5H; MIM 602102), to causetranscriptional pausing of RNA polymerase II (see MIM 180660)(Narita et al., 2003 [PubMed 12612062]).
