Structural highlights
Function
[DPH3_MOUSE] Essential for the first step in the synthesis of diphthamide, a post-translational modification of histidine which occurs in elongation factor 2. Down-regulation increases extracellular release of proteoglycans, indicating a possible role in the secretion process. Stimulates binding of GNEFR to SEC5 (By similarity).
