EEF1G (Eukaryotic Translation Elongation Factor 1 Gamma), also called EF1G or GIG35, is a subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome. This subunit contains an N-terminal glutathione transferase domain, which may be involved in regulating the assembly of multisubunit complexes containing this elongation factor and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. EEF1G probably plays a role in anchoring the complex to other cellular components.
