EEF1G

Elongation factor 1-gamma is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EEF1G gene.

Function
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.

Interactions
EEF1G has been shown to interact with:


 * EEF1B2,
 * EEF1D,
 * HARS,
 * LZTS1,
 * LARS, and
 * RECQL5.
