Eftud2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable GTPase activity and U5 snRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; embryo ectoderm; extraembryonic component; and optic cup. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in esophageal atresia; hepatitis B; hepatocellular carcinoma; mandibulofacial dysostosis, Guion-Almeida type; and microcephaly. Orthologous to human EFTUD2 (elongation factor Tu GTP binding domain containing 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Eftud2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
