Enables GTPase activity. Predicted to be involved in translational elongation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in hypodermis; intestine; muscle cell; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 38; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 33; and ovarian cancer. Is an ortholog of human EEF1A1 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1); EEF1A1P5 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 pseudogene 5); and EEF1A2 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2).
Enriched in AWCL based on single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including glp-1; sin-3; and chd-3 based on RNA-seq studies. Is affected by Tunicamycin based on microarray studies.
Is affected by several genes including spr-5; lpd-3; and glp-1 based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is affected by paraquat based on RNA-seq studies.
