SUPT5H

Transcription elongation factor SPT5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SUPT5H gene.

Interactions

SUPT5H has been shown to interact with:

• CDK9,
• Cyclin-dependent kinase 7,
• HTATSF1,
• PIN1,
• POLR2A,
• PRMT1 and
• Protein arginine methyltransferase 5.

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of SUPT5H function. A conditional knockout mouse line called Supt5^{tm2a(KOMP)Wtsi} was generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion. Additional screens performed: - In-depth immunological phenotyping
