GUF1 - GTP binding elongation factor GUF1 Gene
Also Known as EF4; EF-4; DEE40; EIEE40
Species: Homo sapiens
About GUF1
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues, 18 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 5.7), testis (RPKM 4.4) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a GTPase that triggers back-translocation of the elongating ribosome during mitochondrial protein synthesis. The protein contains a highly conserved C-terminal domain not found in Other GTPases that facilitates tRNA binding. The encoded protein is thought to prevent misincorporation of Amino acids in stressful, suboptimal conditions. An allelic variant in this gene has been associated with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-40. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
