SRA1

Steroid receptor RNA activator 1 also known as steroid receptor RNA activator protein (SRAP) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SRA1 is_associated_with::gene. 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 with:
 * is_associated_with::Estrogen receptor alpha,
 * is_associated_with::DDX17,
 * is_associated_with::Nuclear receptor coactivator 2, and
 * is_associated_with::SPEN.

The SRAP has been shown to interact with its SRA RNA counterpart via its RRM-like domain interacting with the functional sub-structure STR7 of SRA RNA.
