EEF2 - eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 Gene
Also Known as EF2; EF-2; EEF-2; SCA26
Species: Homo sapiens
About EEF2
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 222 orthologues, 18 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 918.2), thyroid (RPKM 609.1) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the GTP-binding translation elongation factor family. This protein is an essential factor for protein synthesis. It promotes the GTP-dependent translocation of the nascent protein chain from the A-site to the P-site of the ribosome. This protein is completely inactivated by EF-2 kinase phosporylation.
