Gene ID: 1933, updated on 4-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: EF1B; EEF1B; EEF1B1

Summary

This gene encodes a translation elongation factor. The protein is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor involved in the transfer of aminoacylated tRNAs to the ribosome. Alternative splicing results in three transcript variants which differ only in the 5' UTR. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
