EEF2

Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the EEF2 is_associated_with::gene.

This gene encodes a member of the GTP-binding translation is_associated_with::elongation factor family. This protein is an essential factor for protein synthesis. It promotes the GTP-dependent translocation of the ribosome. This protein is completely inactivated by EF-2 kinase phosphorylation.

It is the target of is_associated_with::diphtheria toxin and is_associated_with::exotoxin A.
