Full name | | eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 |
Aliases | | ,EEF-2,EF2, |
Gene 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.
