Abstract
The first evidence for the role of the protein elongation factor eEF1A2 in tumorigenesis was reported by Anand and colleagues who demonstrated that eEF1A2 is overexpressed in about 30% of ovarian tumors and some established ovarian cancer cells. This abnormal expression correlates with a poor prognosis. Since this discovery, there have been several reports suggesting eEF1A2 as a diagnostic marker in various cancers. This review highlights the oncogenic potential of eEF1A2.Entities:
