EEF1G eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 gamma

Gene ID: 1937, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: EF1G; GIG35

Summary

This gene encodes a subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome. This subunit contains an N-terminal glutathione transferase domain, which may be involved in regulating the assembly of multisubunit complexes containing this elongation factor and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.
