ELP3

ELP3 is a gene that produces a protein involved in modifying another group of proteins called tRNAs, which are essential for building proteins in our cells. It functions as part of a larger complex that adds specific chemical groups to tRNAs, helping ensure they work correctly and efficiently. This process is crucial for proper cell function and development. Mutations or changes in the ELP3 gene can disrupt this modification process, potentially leading to health issues or developmental problems. Overall, ELP3 plays a key role in maintaining the proper function of cellular protein production.
