Recombinant Human Elongation factor 1-delta (EEF1D)

Uniprot Id

P29692

Target Species

Human

Target Name

EEF1D

Target Full Name

Elongation factor 1-delta

Target Function

EF-1-beta and EF-1-delta stimulate the exchange of GDP bound to EF-1-alpha to GTP, regenerating EF-1-alpha for another round of transfer of aminoacyl-tRNAs to the ribosome.; Regulates induction of heat-shock-responsive genes through association with heat shock transcription factors and direct DNA-binding at heat shock promoter elements (HSE).

Target Subcellular Location

[Isoform 2]: Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

EF-1-beta/EF-1-delta family

Target Tissue Specificity

Isoform 2 is specifically expressed in brain, cerebellum and testis.

Target Research Area

Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling

Target Synonyms

Antigen NY CO 4; Antigen NY-CO-4; EEF 1D; EEF1D; EF 1 delta; EF 1D; EF-1-delta; EF1D; EF1D_HUMAN; Elongation factor 1 delta; Elongation factor 1-delta; eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 delta (guanine nucleotide exchange protein); Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 delta; FP1047; Guanine nucleotide exchange protein

Target Background

This gene encodes a subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome. This subunit, delta, functions as guanine nucleotide exchange factor. It is reported that following HIV-1 infection, this subunit interacts with HIV-1 Tat. This interaction results in repression of translation of host cell proteins and enhanced translation of viral proteins. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been found for this gene. Related pseudogenes have been defined on chromosomes 1, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, 19.
