Term Name: elongin complex
Synonyms: elongin (SIII) complex, transcription elongation factor SIII complex, transcription factor B (SIII) complex
Definition: A transcription elongation factor complex that suppresses RNA polymerase II pausing, and may act by promoting proper alignment of the 3'-end of nascent transcripts with the polymerase catalytic site. Consists of a transcriptionally active Elongin A subunit (about 100 kDa) and two smaller Elongin B (about 18 kDa) and Elongin C (about 15 kDa) subunits.
