Gene: ETF1

Alternate names for this Gene: D5S1995|ERF|ERF1|RF1|SUP45L1|TB3-1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a class-1 polypeptide chain release factor. The encoded protein plays an essential role in directing termination of mRNA translation from the termination codons UAA, UAG and UGA. This protein is a component of the SURF complex which promotes degradation of prematurely terminated mRNAs via the mechanism of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 6, 7, and X.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q31.2

Description of this Gene: eukaryotic translation termination factor 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
