Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase (eEF-2K) is a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent enzyme that negatively regulates protein synthesis. eEF-2K has been shown to be up-regulated in cancer, and to play an important role in cell survival through inhibition of protein synthesis. Post-translational modifi...
