Steroid receptor RNA activator 1 also known as steroid receptor RNA activator protein (SRAP) is a
protein
Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, respon ...
that in humans is encoded by the ''SRA1''
gene
In biology, the word gene (from , ; "... Wilhelm Johannsen coined the word gene to describe the Mendelian units of heredity..." meaning ''generation'' or ''birth'' or ''gender'') can have several different meanings. The Mendelian gene is a b ...
.
The mRNA transcribed from the SRA1 gene is a component of the ribonucleoprotein complex containing
NCOA1. This functional RNA also encodes a protein.
Function
This gene is involved in
transcriptional coactivation by
steroid receptor. There is currently data suggesting this gene encodes both a non-coding RNA that functions as part of a ribonucleoprotein complex and a protein coding mRNA. Increased expression of both the transcript and the protein is associated with cancer.
Interactions
SRA1 has been shown to
interact
