Facts about Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A-2.
Involved in actin dynamics and cell cycle progression, mRNA decay and likely in a pathway involved in stress response and maintenance of cell wall integrity. Functions as a regulator of apoptosis.

Expressed in ovarian and colorectal cancer cell lines (at protein level). Highly expressed in testis. Overexpressed in some cancer cells.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Nucleus, nuclear pore complex. Hypusine modification promotes the nuclear export and cytoplasmic localization and there was a dynamic shift in the localization from predominantly cytoplasmic to primarily nuclear under apoptotic inducing conditions.
