Description |
eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 |
| Gene Summary |
Enables several functions, including 5S rRNA binding activity; actin filament binding activity; and p53 binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to brain-derived neurotrophic factor stimulus; positive regulation of cytoplasmic translation; and response to ischemia. Located in cytoplasm and ribosome. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glaucoma; spinocerebellar ataxia type 26; and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human EEF2 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2).
