DPH3 diphthamide biosynthesis 3

Gene ID: 285381, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DESR1; DPH3A; KTI11; ZCSL2; DELGIP; DELGIP1

Summary

This gene encodes a CSL zinc finger-containing protein that is required for dipthamide biosynthesis. The encoded protein is necessary for the initial step in the modification of a histidine residue in elongation factor-2 to diphthamide. This modified residue is a target for ADP ribosylation by the bacterial toxins diphtheria toxin and Pseudomonas exotoxin A. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same isoform. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
