Function
Threonine kinase that regulates protein synthesis by controlling the rate of peptide chain elongation. Upon activation by a variety of upstream kinases including AMPK or TRPM7, phosphorylates the elongation factor EEF2 at a single site, renders it unable to bind ribosomes and thus inactive. In turn, the rate of protein synthesis is reduced.
KEGG Pathway
AMPK signaling pathway (hsa04152 )
Oxytocin signaling pathway (hsa04921 )
Reactome Pathway
mTORC1-mediated signalling (R-HSA-166208 )
