Synthesized phospho derived from human eEF2 (Phospho-Thr56)
Alternative Synonym:
Elongation factor 2 (EF-2)
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.
