---|---|---|---|
Chromosome: | 17 (NC_000017.11) | Locus: | NG_032674.1 (EFTUD2) |
HUGO Symbol: | EFTUD2 | Full Name: | elongation factor Tu GTP binding domain containing 2 |
Exons: | 28 | Introns: | 27 |
Description:
The encoded protein is a GTPase component of the U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) that forms part of the spliceosome complex, which regulates pre-mRNA splicing and the production of mature mRNAs. The U5 snRNP possesses homology with the ribosomal elongation factor EF-2. The encoded protein acts as a regulator of the innate immune response. Mutations in this gene associated with mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly. Polymorphisms in this gene associated with HbF levels in sickle cell patients. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
