EEF2K - eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase Gene
Also Known as eEF-2K; CaMKIII; HSU93850
Species: Homo sapiens
About EEF2K
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 207 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in skin (RPKM 21.4), fat (RPKM 10.0) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a highly conserved protein kinase in the calmodulin-mediated signaling pathway that links activation of cell surface receptors to cell division. This kinase is involved in the regulation of protein synthesis. It phosphorylates eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (EEF2) and thus inhibits the EEF2 function. The activity of this kinase is increased in many cancers and may be a valid target for anti-cancer treatment. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
