EEF2 - eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as EF2; EF-2; EEF-2; SCA26

Gene ID: 1938 | Gene type: protein coding

About EEF2

Cytogenetic location: 19p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:3,976,056-3,985,463 (from NCBI)

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.
