EF 1H
- Peptide elongation factor 1 multisubunit protein that responsible GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNAs eukaryotic ribosomes. alpha 1alpha) binds tRNA transfers it ribosome in a process linked to GTP hydrolysis. The beta and delta subunits (1beta, EF-1delta) are involved exchanging GDP for GTP. gamma subunit (1gamma) is structural component.
