Protein Name: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A
|
UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: EIF2A_MOUSE (Q8BJW6)
Gene Name: Eif2a
Synonyms: D3Ertd194e
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Function: Functions in the early steps of protein synthesis of a small number of specific mRNAs. Acts by directing the binding of methionyl-tRNAi to 40S ribosomal subunits. In contrast to the eIF- 2 complex, it binds methionyl-tRNAi to 40 S subunits in a codon- dependent manner, whereas the eIF-2 complex binds methionyl-tRNAi to 40 S subunits in a GTP-dependent manner. May act by impiging the expression of specific proteins (By similarity).
