EEF1A2 eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 1917)

Symbol: EEF1A2

Full name: eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: DEE33; EEF1AL; EF-1-alpha-2; EF1A; EIEE33; HS1; MRD38; STN; STNL

Summary: This gene encodes an isoform of the alpha subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome. This isoform (alpha 2) is expressed in brain, heart and skeletal muscle, and the other isoform (alpha 1) is expressed in brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas. This gene may be critical in the development of ovarian cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
