Elongation factor 1-alpha 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EEF1A2 gene. [5] [6] [7]

Function

This gene encodes an isoform of the alpha subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome. This isoform (alpha 2) is expressed in brain, heart and skeletal muscle, and the other isoform ( alpha 1) is expressed in brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas.

Clinical significance

This gene may be critical in the development of ovarian cancer. [7]

Regulation

EEF1A2 is a direct target of miRNA-663 and miRNA-744. [8]
