UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P29557 (P29557)
Gene Name:
eIF4E
Organism: Triticum aestivum (Wheat)
Function: Component of the protein complex eIF4F, which is involved in the recognition of the mRNA cap, ATP-dependent unwinding of 5'-terminal secondary structure and recruitment of mRNA to the ribosome (PubMed:1508698). Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis and facilitates ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures (PubMed:1508698, PubMed:17322339)
