Summary: Enables translation elongation factor activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of apoptotic process and translational elongation. Located in cytoplasm. Part of eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 complex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and integumental system. Used to study autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 38. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 38; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 33; and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human EEF1A2 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
