Summary: Enables calmodulin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; positive regulation by host of viral genome replication; and translational elongation. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Used to study breast cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including EEF1A1 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
