Elongation factor 2 (EF-2), also encoded by EFT2; catalyzes ribosomal translocation during protein synthesis; contains diphthamide, the unique posttranslationally modified histidine residue specifically ADP-ribosylated by diphtheria toxin; EFT1 has a paralog, EFT2, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000005659]
Chromosome XV: 575,098-577,626 forward strand.
R64-1-1:BK006948.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 410 orthologues, 15 paralogues and is a member of 1 Ensembl protein family.
