Overview

eEF1B2 Protein (EEF1B2) is a protein involved in protein synthesis and ribosome function. It is located in the cytoplasm and participates in critical cellular pathways.

Structure

eEF1B2 has a classical eEF1B structure with multiple domains.

Normal Function

eEF1B2 is the beta subunit of elongation factor-1, forming a complex with eEF1A. It acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor, recycling eEF1A from its GDP-bound to GTP-bound form.

Role in Disease

Altered eEF1B2 expression has been linked to cancer and may affect translational control in [neurons](/entities/neurons).

Therapeutic Targeting

No specific therapeutic targeting.
