Gene: EEF1G

Alternate names for this Gene: EF1G|GIG35

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome. This subunit contains an N-terminal glutathione transferase domain, which may be involved in regulating the assembly of multisubunit complexes containing this elongation factor and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 11

Location in Chromosome : 11q12.3

Description of this Gene: eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 gamma

Type of Gene: protein-coding
