Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; and heat shock protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to heat; cellular response to ionizing radiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer and cortical plate. Orthologous to human EEF1D (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 delta).
