EEF2K Antibodies

Target Information

Threonine kinase that regulates protein synthesis by controlling the rate of peptide chain elongation. Upon activation by a variety of upstream kinases including AMPK or TRPM7, phosphorylates the elongation factor EEF2 at a single site, renders it unable to bind ribosomes and thus inactive. In turn, the rate of protein synthesis is reduced. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Alpha-type protein kinase family. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
