Gene name

EEF2K (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

eEF-2K

Description

Eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a highly conserved protein kinase in the calmodulin-mediated signaling pathway that links activation of cell surface receptors to cell division. This kinase is involved in the regulation of protein synthesis. It phosphorylates eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (EEF2) and thus inhibits the EEF2 function. The activity of this kinase is increased in many cancers and may be a valid target for anti-cancer treatment. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
