Summary
Predicted to enable GTPase activity; ribosome binding activity; and translation elongation factor activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-negative bacterium and negative regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including germ line. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glaucoma; spinocerebellar ataxia type 26; and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human EEF2 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
