Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **EF2K structure and function:** EEF2K is a serine/threonine kinase that phosphorylates and activates eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2), a translation initiation factor. This phosphorylation event regulates protein synthesis and elongation. 2. **Cellular localization:** EEF2K is predominantly found in the cytosol and nucleus, with specific expression in neurons, muscle cells, and epithelial cells. 3. **Expression patterns:** EEF2K is highly expressed in neurons, particularly in the cerebral cortex, and in muscle cells, including skeletal muscle fibers. 4. **Regulatory mechanisms:** EEF2K is regulated by various signaling pathways, including calmodulin, calcium ion binding, and insulin stimulus. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Translation regulation:** EEF2K phosphorylates eEF2, regulating protein synthesis and elongation. This process is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to environmental changes. 2. **Signaling pathways:** EEF2K is involved in various signaling pathways, including: * mTORC1-mediated signaling: Regulates protein synthesis and autophagy. * Calcium ion binding: Regulates muscle contraction and relaxation. * Calmodulin binding: Regulates muscle contraction and cellular responses to anoxia. * Insulin stimulus: Regulates glucose metabolism and protein synthesis. 3. **Autophagy and apoptosis:** EEF2K regulates autophagy and apoptosis by modulating protein synthesis and translation. 4. **Dendritic spine morphogenesis:** EEF2K promotes dendritic spine morphogenesis, a process critical for synaptic plasticity and learning. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Neurological disorders:** EEF2K dysregulation has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke. 2. **Muscular dystrophy:** Mutations in EEF2K have been associated with muscular dystrophy, highlighting its role in muscle cell function and survival. 3. **Cancer:** EEF2K dysregulation has been linked to cancer progression, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target. 4. **Ischemia and stroke:** EEF2K plays a critical role in responding to ischemia and stroke, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for treating these conditions. In conclusion, EEF2K is a multifunctional gene that regulates various cellular processes, including translation, signaling, and autophagy. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target. Further research is necessary to fully elucidate the mechanisms of EEF2K and its role in human disease.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
