Eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase (EEF2K) is threonine kinase whichregulates protein synthesis by means of controlling the rate of peptide chainelongation. Upon activation through a diversity of upstream kinases includingAMPK or TRPM7, EEF2K phosphorylates the elongation factor EEF2 at a sole site,renders it unable to bind ribosomes and therefore inactive. �In turn, the rate ofprotein synthesis is being reduced.
EEF2K Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single,non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 748 amino acids (1-725 a.a) andhaving a molecular mass of 84.6kDa.EEF2K is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus& purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
| UniProt Protein Function: | EEF2K: an atypical protein kinase of the Alpha family. Dependent on Ca2 ions and calmodulin. May play a key role linking cellular energy status and the inhibition of protein synthesis, a major consumer of metabolic energy. Phosphorylates and inactivates eEF2, resulting in the inhibition of peptide-chain elongation eEF2K is phosphorylated and activated by AMPK in response to elevated AMP levels, which increase during cellular stress and starvation. Regulated in response to a range of stimuli including TNF-alpha. Overexpressed in breast cancer cell lines and tumors. Activated in rat glioblastoma, and growth was inhibited by the drug Rottlerin. Activity induced in ischemic heart muscle |

| NCBI 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] |
