Gene information for EEF2K (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID29904
Official gene symbolEEF2K
Full nameeukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase
Aliases,HSU93850,MGC45041,eEF-2K,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a highly conserved protein kinase in the calmodulin-mediated signaling pathway that links activation of cell surface receptors to cell division. This kinase is involved in the regulation of protein synthesis. It phosphorylates eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (EEF2) and thus inhibits the EEF2 function. The activity of this kinase is increased in many cancers and may be a valid target for anti-cancer treatment. [provided by RefSeq]
