eef-1A.2 encodes a translation elongation factor 1-alpha homolog that is required for embryonic viability, fertility, and a normal postembryonic growth rate; eef-1A.2 encodes at least one alternatively spliced coding sequence identical to that of eef-1A.1.
Predicted to enable GTP binding activity; GTPase activity; and translation elongation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in translational elongation. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 38; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 33; and ovarian cancer. Is an ortholog of human EEF1A1 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1); EEF1A1P5 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 pseudogene 5); and EEF1A2 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
