DPH2
Required for the first step in the synthesis of diphthamide, a post-translational modification of histidine which occurs in translation elongation factor 2 (EEF2). Belongs to the DPH1/DPH2 family. DPH2 subfamily. Strongly expressed in skeletal muscle. Moderately expressed in heart, small intestine, liver, pancreas, testis and colon. Weakly expressed in brain, placenta, kidney, spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary and lymphocytes. 3 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
