    basic FUNCTION
  • S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase activity
  • is a tumor suppressor and might provide promising approaches for bladder cancer treatment and prevention
  • having antiapoptotic activity and playing a role in carcinogenesis
  • facilitates the INSL3 production in testicular Leydig cells that is essential for transabdominal testis migration
  • EEF1AKNMT inhibition may likely constitute a targetable vulnerability of tumors driven by aberrant RAS signaling

    INTERACTION

    small molecule
    protein
  • loss of EEF1AKNMT function alters translation dynamics and results in changed translation rates of specific codons
  • EEF1AKNMT-catalyzed EEF1A methylation increases EEF1A intrinsic GTPase activity in vitro and protein production in cells
