Its function is not clear, but it has been demonstrated that the human Elongator facilitates transcription by RNA polymerase II in a chromatin- and acetyl-CoA-dependent manner. IKBKAP. IKBKAP was originally described as a scaffold protein of the IKK complex involved in NF-kB activation, but this role has since been disputed. IKBKAP is a component of the RNA polymerase II elongator complex which has histone acetyltransferase activity and is involved in transcriptional elongation. Gene defects are a cause of familial dysautonomia, also known as Riley-Day syndrome. Affected individuals show a variety of symptoms such as decreased sensitivity to pain and temperature, cardiovascular instability, pneumonia and gastrointestinal dysfunction.
