About Eef2

Summary

Enables GTPase activity. Acts upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation and translational elongation. Located in cytoplasm. Part of polysome. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in brain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glaucoma and spinocerebellar ataxia type 26. Orthologous to human EEF2 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2).
