Translational elongation factor EF-1 alpha; in the GTP-bound active form, binds to and delivers aminoacylated tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes for elongation of nascent polypeptides; associates with vacuolar Rho1p GTPase; TEF2-RFP levels increase during replicative aging; may also have a role in tRNA re-export from the nucleus; TEF2 has a paralog, TEF1, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000000322]
