EEF2 Antibody / Elongation factor 2

Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EEF2 gene. This gene encodes a member of the GTP-binding translation elongation factor family. This protein is an essential factor for protein synthesis. It promotes the GTP-dependent translocation of the nascent protein chain from the A-site to the P-site of the ribosome. This protein is completely inactivated by EF-2 kinase phosporylation.
