Protein Name:
Translation initiation factor eIF2B subunit alpha
|
UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q99LC8 (Q99LC8)
Gene Name:
Eif2b1
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Acts as a component of the translation initiation factor 2B (eIF2B) complex, which catalyzes the exchange of GDP for GTP on eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) gamma subunit. Its guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity is repressed when bound to eIF2 complex phosphorylated on the alpha subunit, thereby limiting the amount of methionyl-initiator methionine tRNA available to the ribosome and consequently global translation is repressed
