Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables translation elongation factor activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of apoptotic process and translational elongation. Located in cytoplasm. Part of eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 complex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and integumental system. Used to study autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 38. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 38; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 33; and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human EEF1A2 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2).
