Gene Description DPH3, diphthamide biosynthesis 3, encodes a zinc finger protein involved in dipthamide synthesis, which involves modification to the elongater complex, specifically converting a histidine residue to dipthamide in the eukaryotic elongation factor 2 protein (PMID: 16648478, PMID: 28555368).
