eef-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable GTPase activity; ribosome binding activity; and translation elongation factor activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-negative bacterium and negative regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Expressed in several structures, including germ line. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; brain glioblastoma multiforme; carcinoma (multiple); and spinocerebellar ataxia type 26. Is an ortholog of human EEF2 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2).
