Primary Identifier | MGI:95288 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 13629 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables GTPase activity and lncRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation and translational elongation. Located in cytoplasm and ribosome. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in brain; liver; and neocortex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glaucoma; spinocerebellar ataxia type 26; and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human EEF2 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a mutation removing the diphthamide modification display partial neonatal lethality, fetal growth retardation and abnormal cell physiology. [provided by MGI curators] |
