Gene information for EEF1A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1917
Official gene symbolEEF1A2
Full nameeukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2
Aliases,EEF1AL,EF-1-alpha-2,EF1A,FLJ41696,HS1,STN,STNL,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an isoform of the alpha subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome. This isoform (alpha 2) is expressed in brain, heart and skeletal muscle, and the other isoform (alpha 1) is expressed in brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas. This gene may be critical in the development of ovarian cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
