EEF1A2 and cancer: It is reported that eEF1A2 is an important protein involved in protein translation elongation, and eEF1A2 was identified as a putative oncogene in many human cancers (breast, ovary, liver, pancreas, lung, and prostate) (Giudici et al., 2019; Lee et al., 2013; Liu et al., 2019; Pellegrino et al., 2014; Worst et al., 2017; Zang et al., 2015).
