Synonyms | DPH2L2 |
Function | Required for the first step of diphthamide biosynthesis, a post-translational modification of histidine which occurs in elongation factor 2 (PubMed:32576952). DPH1 and DPH2 transfer a 3-amino-3- carboxypropyl (ACP) group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to a histidine residue, the reaction is assisted by a reduction system comprising DPH3 and a NADH-dependent reductase (By similarity). Facilitates the reduction of the catalytic iron-sulfur cluster found in the DPH1 subunit (By similarity). |
Tissue Location | Strongly expressed in skeletal muscle. Moderately expressed in heart, small intestine, liver, pancreas, testis and colon Weakly expressed in brain, placenta, kidney, spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary and lymphocytes. |

Background
This gene is one of two human genes similar to the yeastgene dph2. The yeast gene was identified by its ability tocomplement a diphthamide mutant strain, and thus probably functionsin diphthamide biosynthesis. Diphthamide is a post-translationallymodified histidine residue present in elongation factor 2 (EF2)that is the target of diphtheria toxin ADP-ribosylation. Twotranscript variants encoding different isoforms have been found forthis gene.
