Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Elongation factor 1-beta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "EEF1B2" gene.
Function.
This gene encodes a translation elongation factor. The protein is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor involved in the transfer of aminoacylated tRNAs to the ribosome. Alternative splicing results in three transcript variants which differ only in the 5' UTR.
Interactions.
EEF1B2 has been shown to interact with EEF1G and HARS.
