The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000123427 (EEF1AKMT3, EEF1A lysine methyltransferase 3) is as follows. Protein-lysine methyltransferase that selectively mono-, di- and trimethylates 'Lys-165' of the translation elongation factors EEF1A1 and EEF1A2 in an aminoacyl-tRNA and GTP-dependent manner. EEF1A1 methylation by EEF1AKMT3 is dynamic as well as inducible by stress conditions, such as ER-stress, and plays a regulatory role on mRNA translation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28108655, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28663172}.
