Talk:Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1

Aplidin
"Aplidin could be especially relevant in a world where dangerous new strains of the coronavirus are popping up. That’s because the drug blocks the activity of a human protein, eEF1A, that the virus needs to make copies of itself and infect other cells, slashing the virus’ ability to replicate and spread."

Can someone add relevant info to the page?

Humans
While I understand that we all have a disproportionate interest in which function any gene family may perform in humans, it is strange to begin the broad summary of the page with what it does in humans and where it is expressed. That wide description should likely regard its common role and distribution across the tree of life. Why? I bet it's not expressed in the "brain" of a plant, for example, and this is therefore not an accurate statement of its broader role, and may mislead with respect to its origins and evolutionary history. Furthermore, this has the effect of lessening its importance, which is considerable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:249:8A00:9E65:AC56:5334:AD02:95EA (talk) 04:14, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
