Gene information for EEF2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1938
Official gene symbolEEF2
Full nameeukaryotic translation elongation factor 2
Aliases,EEF-2,EF2,
Gene summaryThis 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.
