Description
Product Characteristics:
EEF2 is 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.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: EEF2 phospho T56 + T58, p-EEF2 phospho T56 + T58, EEF 2, Eef2, EF-2, EF2, EF2_HUMAN, Elongation factor 2, Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2, Polypeptidyl tRNA translocase.
Target Information: 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.
