Biological function summary

Elongation factor 1-gamma supports the stability and functionality of the larger elongation factor 1 complex which also includes EF-1 alpha EF-1 beta and EF-1 delta. This complex facilitates the economic and rapid engagement of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome's A-site which is important in the synthesis of proteins ensuring that proteins are accurately and efficiently elongated during translation.

Pathways

Elongation factor 1-gamma has significance in the translation pathway and is also linked to the mTOR signaling pathway. The translation pathway is fundamental for general protein synthesis while the mTOR pathway is pivotal in regulating cell growth and proliferation. In these contexts elongation factor 1-gamma associates with other proteins such as elongation factor 1 alpha to optimize the elongation step of protein synthesis impacting cell growth and survival.
