eEF2 / Unconjugated / H1-B6

Product Details

Description	Two elongation factors (EF) EF-Tu and EF-2 participate in the elongation phase during protein biosynthesis on the ribosome and their functional cycles depend on GTP binding and its hydrolysis. EF-Tu (also designated mitochondrial precursor p43) and EF-2 are multidomain GTPases with essential functions in translation, and they both bind to the same site on the ribosome where their low intrinsic GTPase activities are strongly stimulated. EF-Tu plays a central role in the fast and accurate delivery of aminoacyl-tRNAs to the translating ribosome. In addition, EF-Tu protects the aminoester bond against hydrolysis until a correct match between the codon on mRNA and the anticodon on tRNA can be achieved. EF-2 supports the translocation of tRNAs and of mRNAs on the ribosome so that a new codon can be exposed for decoding.

About eEF2
This gene encodes a member of the GTP-binding translation elongation factor family. This protein is an essential factor for protein synthesis. It promotes the GTP-dependent translocation of the nascent protein chain from the A-site to the P-site of the ribosome. This protein is completely inactivated by EF-2 kinase phosporylation.
