Eukaryotic elongation factors are very similar to those in prokaryotes.
Elongation in eukaryotes is carried out with two elongation factors.
eEF-1
The first is eEF-1, whose α and βγ subunits act as counterparts to EF-Tu and EF-Ts, respectively
Genes include:
eEF-2
The second is eEF-2, the counterpart to prokaryotic EF-G
It is encoded by EEF2.
